Summary
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) include substantive rights and obligations like those set out in the WTO Agreement. Most FTAs also contain provisions establishing mechanisms for third-party adjudication of disputes that may arise between the parties. This leads to on overlap of jurisdiction (Kwak and Marceau 2006), whereby WTO Members could challenge their FTA partners’ measures in the WTO and under the respective FTA dispute settlement mechanism (DSM).
