Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: A, Macquarie University, course: Law, language: English, abstract: The Dispute Settlement Procedure (DSP) embodied in the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is a highly effective mechanism to ensure disputes are resolved in a reasonable period of time. However, it does not satisfactorily address the needs of developing countries to access the DSP. This could be reformed through financial and legal assistance for these countries. In addition, a more substantiated non-compliance clause could assist the timely resolution of disputes so as to not disrupt the free flow of international trade in goods and services, a key objective of the WTO system.
