WTO dispute settlement: How does it really work?
Brown Bag Seminar by Christian Häberli, Senior Research Fellow WTI/NCCR Trade Regulation: reports on his 15 years of practice as a panellist.
How to become a panellist despite being nominated by your government? How important is dispute settlement really? How does it work behind the scenes? Finding a "positive solution" without rule-setting. Ambiguous agreements and sloppy scheduling. How bad is the DSU? Key players and their interests. The importance of homework even for well-meaning third parties and amici curiae. Can small countries win a case? Will dispute settlement continue while the Doha negotiations are in the doldrums?
