Abstract

The agreements between the members of the WTO provide many extensive rules concerning international trade in goods, trade in services and aspects related to trade of intellectual property. Economically, politically, and otherwise, these rules are very important for the members of the organization. Hereby, it is no surprise that the members do not always agree on what is the correct application and interpretation of the rules. Members often argue whether about if a particular law or practice of a member constitutes a violation of an obligation or right provided in a specific WTO agreement.To settle disputes concerning rights or obligations under WTO agreements between members, the WTO enforces a dispute settlement system. Dispute settlement is a central pillar in the multilateral trading system, and it aims to bring stability to the global economy. The WTO dispute settlement system has been in operation since 1995 and has, during this time, been the most productive of all international dispute settlement systems.
