Wto, Institutions And Dispute Settlement Institutions And Dispute Settlement

Two of the greatest achievements of the Uruguay Round were the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a - compared to the Gatt - fully-fledged international organization and the creation of a new, uniform and binding disptue settelemnt system. While the fialure of the ministerial Conferences in Seattle and Cancun revealed first cracks in the institutional structure of the WTO, the operation of the new dispute settlement system has so far been a remarkable success. In a practical and authoritative article-by-article account, this volume covers the legislative history, interpretation and practical application of the Agreement establishing the world Trade Organization, Articles XXII, XXIII, and XXIV GATT 1994, the Dispture Settlement Understanding, the Trade Review policy Mechanism and the Understanding in Respect of Waivers of Obligations under the GATT 1994. Written by a team of distinguished scholars and practiotioners, the volume is an indispensable work of reference for all those interested in the WTO institutional fundamentals and the disptue settlement system (international lawyers, scholars and students of WTO law, diplomats and international civil servants, members of NGOs).Kaiser, Karen is the author of 'Wto, Institutions And Dispute Settlement Institutions And Dispute Settlement', published 2006 under ISBN 9789004145634 and ISBN 900414563X.
