The positive role of the DSB in resolving international commercial disputes

Abstract

The states parties to the World Trade Organization (WTO) seek to benefit from the liberalization of trade between the different countries of the world as well as increasing the movement of international capital, all of this was evident from the long and arduous negotiations to establish the World Trade Organization, which demonstrated the existence of contradictions between the major industrial countries that are seeking strongly To find markets for the exchange of goods and services that are produced and developing countries that try to protect their economies from strong and unfair competition, therefore, and for other reasons, we must be prepared for many conflicts and different formulas arise between the totality of these parties. The previous GATT mechanism for resolving disputes was not sufficient to resolve disputes between member states that occurred; (there were approximately 300 disputes dealt with for the period 1947-1994) due to disagreement over the interpretation of the provisions and agreements of the Uruguay Round and because of the problems that the GAT experienced during its existence, Therefore, it was necessary to establish an effective mechanism whose task is to resolve these disputes and is expected to increase greatly. This mechanism was represented by the Dispute Settlement Authority (DSB) of the World Trade Organization
