Abstract

This article highlights the importance of the rule of law for the functioning of the multilateral trading system. It argues that two of its main components are in danger: the recognition by the WTO Member states that they undertake in good faith not to violate WTO law, and the workings of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism At the root is the failure of the membership to preserve the equilibrium between the “political arm” of the organisation and its judicial branch, as mandated by the WTO-Agreement.
