World Trade Organization (WTO)
Dispute Settlement
Dispute Settlement at the WTO
Given that there are over 140 Members of the World Trade Organization
(WTO), including nearly all of the major trading countries, it should
not be surprising that trade disputes arise from time to time concerning
the interpretation of the rules contained in the WTO Agreements
and how they are being applied by WTO Members. What is surprising,
however, is how relatively few disputes there are given that the
value of goods and services exports worldwide exceeds US$6 trillion.
