ESCWA
Since we are talking about international organisations, I suspect the Arabic word is missing a letter "ا" in the end which would make the word الاسكوا and this is the abbreviation for the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia. This UN organisation is based in Beirut and has a department that deals with WTO and international trade related issues.

Note from asker:
| could you please spell it out for me? |
| this is supposed to be an international organization as you can see from the context, and not the name of a company. |
| Yes of course you're perfectly right, and I wasted a lot of time because of this. Many thanks for helping me :) |
