Author Description

Since 1999, WTO dispute settlement panels and the appellate body have issued an average of 30 decisions per year, spanning thousands of pages. As it becomes increasingly difficult to keep abreast of each and every decision, this Handbook presents subscribers with a highly practical research tool. Beginning with a chronological list of of all GATT and WTO panel, appellate body, and arbitration reports, the Handbook provides: An expert overview of the WTO Dispute settlement system A Digest and Summary of each report A unique system of key words that provides a logical connection between the reasoning of the panels and the pertinent articles and clauses of the Agreements A comparison of WTO/GATT dispute settlement to other international dispute settlement systems and commercial arbitration Important GATT and WTO texts and documents related to dispute settlement Bibliography Decisions are indexed in several ways for fast and easy navigation through the otherwise overwhelming amount of case material.
