In 1989 the United States Passed a Law Against Catching

In 1989 the United States passed a law against catching shrimp with nets that do not have turtle excluder devices. Four Asian countries filed a complaint with the WTO, and the WTO ruled that the U.S. policy violated WTO rules because:

A) protection of sea turtles was not a legitimate environmental purpose.
B) one nation could not impose moral values on other nations as per WTO rules.
C) sea turtles were not on the endangered species list.
D) the policy did not apply equally to all exporting nations and did not recognize alternative ways to protect sea turtles.
