The Stages in a Typical WTO Dispute
This chapter explains the various stages of a WTO dispute. In principle there are two main ways to settle a dispute once a complaint has been filed in the WTO: either the parties find a mutually agreed solution particularly during the phase of bilateral consultations; or adjudication takes place followed by the subsequent implementation of the panel and Appellate Body reports which are binding upon the parties once adopted by the DSB.
A Handbook on the WTO Dispute Settlement System
The WTO dispute settlement system has become one of the most dynamic effective and successful international dispute settlement systems in the world over the past twenty years. This second edition of A Handbook on the WTO Dispute Settlement System has been compiled by the dispute settlement lawyers of the WTO Secretariat with a view to providing a practice-oriented account of the system. In addition to describing the existing rules and procedures this accessibly written handbook explains how those rules and procedures have been interpreted by dispute settlement panels and the Appellate Body and how they have evolved over time. The handbook provides practical information to help various audiences understand the day-to-day operation of the WTO dispute settlement system.
The Scope of WTO Disputes
The WTO dispute settlement system serves to preserve the rights and obligations of members under the WTO Agreement. Accordingly it is open only to WTO members and only for the settlement of disputes concerning their rights and obligations resulting from the WTO Agreement. This chapter examines in more detail when a dispute can be initiated what the object of such dispute can be and which allegations can be made.
Alternatives to Adjudication by Panels and the Appellate Body
Panels and the Appellate Body are not always involved in a WTO dispute. Various other ways to solve disputes are available under the DSU. The first priority of the WTO dispute settlement system is for parties to resolve their disputes in a cooperative manner.
