Legal Interpretation Issues Involving Dispute Settlement Body in the World Trade Organization

The article attempts to explore the background of the establishment of the dispute settlement body under the World Trade Organizations dispute settlement system, and analyze whether the existing legal interpretation power of the dispute settlement body is suspected of exceeding its authority through the legal interpretation disputes arising out of the DS379 case and the laws of relevant countries. Simultaneously, in analyzing the interpretations of the panel and the Appellate Body in the DS379 case report, possible solutions are proposed for the current legal interpretation issues of the dispute settlement body and the current status of the suspension of the Appellate Body. The Appellate Body has been shut down for several years until now, making it impossible to deal with the appeals and fulfil the mandate of the WTO in facilitating inter-member trade disputes. Trade turmoil now is darkening the world horizon, seeking new solutions within the structure of the past mechanisms is infinitely more possible than the restoration of the old ones. Through the analysis of the DS379 case, it is not only to explore whether the DSB is suspected of overstepping its authority, but also to seek how to leverage the advantages of the existing dispute resolution mechanism in the current context of global conflicts.

Abstract

The article attempts to explore the background of the establishment of the dispute settlement body under the World Trade Organizations dispute settlement system, and analyze whether the existing legal interpretation power of the dispute settlement body is suspected of exceeding its authority through the legal interpretation disputes arising out of the DS379 case and the laws of relevant countries. Simultaneously, in analyzing the interpretations of the panel and the Appellate Body in the DS379 case report, possible solutions are proposed for the current legal interpretation issues of the dispute settlement body and the current status of the suspension of the Appellate Body. The Appellate Body has been shut down for several years until now, making it impossible to deal with the appeals and fulfil the mandate of the WTO in facilitating inter-member trade disputes. Trade turmoil now is darkening the world horizon, seeking new solutions within the structure of the past mechanisms is infinitely more possible than the restoration of the old ones. Through the analysis of the DS379 case, it is not only to explore whether the DSB is suspected of overstepping its authority, but also to seek how to leverage the advantages of the existing dispute resolution mechanism in the current context of global conflicts.
