Abstract

For several years, the WTO system, in particular trade dispute settlement mechanism, has been in a state of crisis. The main reasons are the following: growth of protectionism, trade wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic problems, primarily, freezing of the Appellate Body (AB). According to the U.S., the AB exceeds limits of its authority, sometimes making decisions outside of the WTO law, thus, developing rights or obligations for member countries that are not provided for in the existing WTO agreements and violating time limits for appeals. The U.S. has blocked decisions on appointment of new AB members. Many WTO member countries agree on the need for reforms.2 According to experts, despite internal challenges, WTO has no alternative related to matters regulating international trade relations.
