WTO dispute settlement understanding

About this book

"Through an article-by-article interpretation of the DSU, this book analyses how the panels and Appellate Body have read, interpreted and construed the provisions of the DSU. Its expert authors provide detailed juridical essays on each of the 27 articles of the DSU, with precise commentary on how panel and Appellate Body reports and arbitral awards (over 100 to date) affect the interpretation and application of the various DSU provisions. The coverage also includes the special or additional rules and procedures referred to in some of the agreements covered by the DSU, especially the manner in which the DSB has applied such rules to anti-dumping, subsides and countervailing measures, and textiles. In addition, the volume reprints all of the DSU-related documents for easy reference." "WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding: A Detailed Interpretation provides a complete and thorough evaluation of the practical working meaning of the DSU. It will be of assistance to government officials, legal practitioners, scholars, media participants, non-governmental organizations, and others in their practical and important endeavours. The detailed analysis of this very important legal material will be welcomed by all concerned with matters of world trade and globalization."--Jacket.
