Developing Countries, Countermeasures and the DSU: Reinterpreting the DSU PDF  •  0.93 MB

Developing countries relying on the DSU are particularly troubled by the ineffectiveness of countermeasures as a means to ensure compliance by major trading partners. The difference in trade value often proves suspension of concessions to be detrimental to the retaliating developing country’s domestic market leaving countermeasures not only ineffective but even counterproductive. This paper aims to explore realistic strategies to maximize developing countries’ capability in engaging the WTO dispute settlement system to defend their trade interests and sustainable development objectives.
