<p><span class="fontstyle0"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle1"><em>The sovereignty of a country to issue a policy or regulation in the field of international trade </em><em>is limited by the enactment of the provisions in the World Trade Organization (WTO), </em><em>especially for countries that have ratified the GATT / WTO. If a country issues rules and/or </em><em>policy that conflict with WTO provisions, it will result in the country being sued by another </em><em>country. As happened with the policy issued by Australia. Indonesia is suing Australia to the </em><em>WTO for the rules and/or policies for the plain packaging of cigarette products (The Tobacco </em><em>Plain Packaging Act 2011) imposed by Australia. The policy is considered contrary to the </em><em>provisions of the WTO, specifically the provisions of TRIPS (Trade Related Aspects of </em><em>Intellectual Property Rights). This research utilizes a normative juridical method by paying </em><em>attention to legal materials such as legal principles, legal principles, international </em><em>conventions, and legislation relating to the problem of The Tobacco Plain Packaging Act. </em><em>From the results of the study can be seen WTO considerations in this case. In addition, there are also advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of The Tobacco Plain Packaging Act in the future.</em><br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle0"><strong><em>Keywords: WTO/GATT, The Tobacco Plain Packaging Act, International Economic Law</em></strong><br /></span></p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><span class="fontstyle4">Kedaulatan suatu negara untuk mengeluarkan suatu kebijakan atau peraturan dalam bidang perdagangan internasional dibatasi oleh berlakunya ketentuan-ketentuan dalam </span><span class="fontstyle1">World Trade Organization </span><span class="fontstyle4">(WTO), terutama bagi negara-negara yang telah meratifikasi GATT/WTO.
