Summary
The Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is the compulsory, binding inter-state adjudicatory system for disputes between member states related to WTO law. The panels and the Appellate Body (AB) that work under the framework of the DSM have gained a reputation for judicious and effective dispute resolution in the international sphere, leading them to be hailed as a guiding light for other international courts and tribunals. Although fact-intensive cases are the norm in the WTO DSM, the legal questions that come before panels and the AB are primarily questions of treaty interpretation and hence hold interest for any study of legal interpretation.3
