Centre for Trade and Investment Law (CTIL-IIFT) headed by Dr. James J. Nedumpara organised a Trade Talk on “How Should WTO Members Respond to Their WTO Governance and Appellate Body Crises? in New Delhi on March 26, 2019.
Since 2017, the United States (US) and other World Trade Organization (WTO) members have been violating their legal duties and democratic mandates given by national parliaments to maintain the WTO Appellate Body (AB), as legally prescribed in Article 17 of the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding (i.e. as being ‘composed of seven persons’, with vacancies being ‘filled as they arise’). However, none of the reasons offered by the US for its blocking of the (re)appointment of AB candidates – on grounds unrelated to the personal qualifications of the candidates - can legally justify its disruptions of the WTO legal and dispute settlement system. The talk will focus on ways to implement and reform, but not to destroy the WTO system.
About the Speaker:
