Abstract
The question of the relationship between international law and international trade law has taken on a greater significance with the development of the legal regime of the WTO. Although in a formal legal sense the WTO differs little from other international organizations, its legal regime is built on assumptions that are often at variance with those underlying the traditional sovereign state model. Moreover, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is playing an active role in the development of the substantive and procedural content of international law. The contributions of this process include clarification of the rules relating to treaty interpretation, and the development of rights of access for non-state entities. These developments have implications for some of the assumptions on which international law traditionally has been based. Copyright 2000 by Oxford University Press.
