Abstract

The dispute settlement system of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been treated as the most effective mechanism in terms of international rule of law since it was born. The objective of the dispute settlement system is providing the multilateral trading system with security and predictability. There are three types of remedy under the WTO Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (commonly known as the DSU) that designed for breach of WTO law. The first one is withdrawal of the measures that are inconsistent with the WTO covered agreements, which is a final remedy. Another two remedies are temporary remedies, the compensation and suspension of concessions or other obligations under the covered agreements. This is the compliance-compensation-retaliation remedy system under the DSU of the WTO. Among these remedies, effectiveness can be seen. However, these remedies also have their own shortage, especially when the developing countries using them. The purpose of the essay is through showing the remedies under the DSU to demonstrate both the significance and deficiency of this remedy system, especially its impacts on the developed and developing countries.
