Due process in WTO dispute settlement

The World Trade Law Association's Yearbooks are the most timely overview of the international legal developments generated by the WTO. Collected over a number of years, the WTLA Yearbooks will form an invaluable series and become an indispensable reference tool for lawyers in private practice, government service or universities working in this field. This series of topical essays will be the most up to date and broad treatment available of this swiftly-moving area. This volume, the third in the WTLA Yearbook series, brings together a number of the papers delivered at the Association’s 1999 Annual Conference. These have been fully updated and expanded to cover more recent developments. The publication also contains specially written contributions written by key Association members. The WTLA Yearbooks will be required reading for lawyers and decision makers in industry, government and private practice who need up-to-date knowledge of this rapidly evolving area of international law. The success of the first two volumes in the series underlines the difficulty of finding excellent materials and commentary on this fast expanding field of practice. We are confident that readers will find the 3rd WTLA Yearbook an equally superb treatment of the subject. In response to the creation of the WTO dispute settlement system, The World Trade Law Association was established in April 1997. Its aim is to provide lawyers working in this field with a forum for discussion and research on the impact of the WTO on international trade. The WTLA held its Inaugural conference in April 1997 with a panel of highly distinguished speakers. The conferences now occur on an annual basis, and have consistently maintained standards of excellence and prescience, with the WTLA Yearbooks publishing the substance of the lively debates that this area of international law and policy engenders.
