Evaluating the enforcement of World Trade Organisation dispute settlement decisions

Magister Legum - LLM / The World Trade Organisation (WTO) deals with regulation of trade in goods, services and
intellectual property between participating countries by providing a framework for negotiating
trade agreements.1 Furthermore, it has implemented a dispute resolution process aimed at
enforcing participants' adherence to WTO agreements. Ideally, all WTO member states have
‘a level playing field’ in terms of access and equal rights under the dispute settlement
mechanism. Disputes should be resolved in a fair and impartial manner. However, the WTO’s
DSS has been criticised for being undemocratic, non-transparent and accountable to none.
