Abstract: With the establishment of the WTO, world trade has been governed by a rules-based multilateral trading regime. However, the efficacy of the WTO has been questioned of late. This paper examines the functioning of the World Trade Organization (WTO) from an administrative law perspective. It tries to build a theoretical logic for, and suggests some steps towards a more legitimate WTO. It concludes that adoption of a more robust regime of administrative rules and procedures by international policymaking bodies would directly contribute to their capacity for good governance through the mechanism of procedural rigour and would indirectly enhance their legitimacy.
