Within the context of the current negotiations over the Free Trade Area of the Americas, there is an unquestionable need to create a system to resolve disputes that may arise between the state parties. Since new dispute settlement systems are often developed by borrowing and learning from past experiences, this thesis examines and compares certain aspects of the dispute settlement mechanisms of the World Trade Organization and certain regional and bilateral agreements signed in the western hemisphere. The result of the analysis is a set of proposals about which of these aspects could be effectively integrated into the design of the dispute settlement system of the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
