Abstract
Abstract In 2020, WTO Panel and Appellate Body reports were adopted in five disputes. This was the last year of the Appellate Body’s activity, which was able to finalize appeals notified prior to December 2019 owing to Rule 15 of the Working Procedures for Appellate Review. The Appellate Body’s last report (which was the highlight of the 2020 jurisprudence), issued in the Australia—Plain Packaging dispute, confirmed that Australia’s tobacco plain packaging measures did not violate the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. WTO reports adopted in 2020 also included another TBT case (focusing on conformity assessment procedures in the ongoing trade conflict between Ukraine and Russia), as well as three trade remedy disputes.
