Venue: Virtual. Join ASIL in this timely program regarding the state of crisis for WTO dispute settlement. The Appellate Body has no sitting members due to an ongoing block on appointments, stalling members’ ability to appeal. At the same time, focus on the politics of the Appellate Body standstill has tended to overshadow problems with the WTO’s first instance of dispute resolution: the panel process. This discussion will seek to unpack the elements of the WTO panel process and examine its future. Speakers include: Simon Lester, Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute; Ignacio García Bercero, Director for Strategy and Multilateral Trade Policy, DG Trade, European Commission; Kholofelo Kugler, Advisory Centre on WTO Law; Johann Human, former Director of WTO Rules Division; Joost Pauwelyn, Professor of International Law, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies & Murase Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Centre; Dr. Jan Yves Remy, Deputy Director of the Shridath Ramphal Trade Centre, UWI.
