PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP: ENABLING INDIA’S PARTICIPATION AT WTO DISPUTE SETTLEMENT MECHANISM
World Trade Organisation Dispute Settlement Understanding (WTO DSU) is a two-tier mechanism. The first tier is international adjudication and the second tier is domestic handling of trade disputes. Both tiers are interdependent and interconnected. A case that is poorly handled at the domestic level generally stands a relatively lower chance of success at the international level, and hence, the future of WTO litigation is partially predetermined by the manner in which it is handled at the domestic level.
