Procedural Issues in WTO Dispute Resolution

Authors

Peter Lichtenbaum, Steptoe & Johnson

Abstract

This article identifies particularly significant procedural issues that are arising in WTO dispute resolution and comments on the possible evolutionary paths of the law. This task requires that the article strike a balance between breadth of coverage and depth of coverage. As a result, the article does not aim to provide a complete discussion of all aspects of the WTO dispute resolution system and generally does not discuss issues that have not been addressed by WTO panels. The article does not seek to provide an exhaustive analysis of each issue discussed, and therefore deals briefly with the background under the WTO's predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT”).
