A Comment on Henry Gao, ‘Dictum on Dicta: Obiter Dicta in WTO Disputes’

Giorgio Sacerdoti

World Trade Review, 2018, vol. 17, issue 3, 535-540

Abstract: In 2016, the US objected to the reappointment of a member of the WTO Appellate Body, ‘accusing’ him inter alia of having participated in a decision where the Appellate Body had indulged in unnecessary analysis in the nature of obiter dicta. Henry Gao has used the occasion to investigate, with a fresh approach, the very concept of obiter dicta in international jurisprudence.
