An enabling clause is a provision in a legal document or agreement that grants authority or permission for specific actions or activities to take place. In international trade law, an enabling clause within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) allows developing countries to provide preferential treatment to other developing nations, facilitating trade agreements and economic cooperation among these nations. Similarly, enabling clauses in other contexts may empower individuals or entities to undertake certain actions or initiatives within the parameters established by the clause.
