Abstract

The present book, consisting of two volumes, seeks to offer its readers targeted analyses of key issues of the WTO system which constitute the core of the Doha Round. Volume 2 deals with the WTO judicial system. By interpreting WTO agreements, the latter maintains the consistency of WTO law and contributes significantly to its progress within the international legal order. Negotiating the review of the WTO Dispute Settlement Agreement being a key issue, several chapters of Volume 2 analyze current problems and discuss likely future prospects. There are also some proposals for reforms and they certainly deserve to be considered in present and future negotiations.
