THE WTO CATHEDRAL

Joel P. Trachtman

Chapter 13 in Trade Law, Domestic Regulation and Development, 2015, pp 329-380 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: The only universal consequence of a legally binding promise is that the law makes the promisor pay damages if the promised event does not come to pass. According to conventional wisdom, it is a waste of time and money for developing countries to invoke the WTO's dispute settlement procedure against industrial countries.
