Title: Reform of the WTO dispute settlement system: what to expect from the Doha Development Round?
Abstract: The WTO dispute settlement system has been operational for almost nine years now. In that period it has arguably been the most prolific of all state-to-state dispute settlement systems. Since 1 January 1995, 302 disputes have been brought to the WTO system for resolution. That is more than were brought to the GATT, the WTO's predecessor, in the forty-seven years between 1948 and 1995. In almost one-quarter of the disputes brought to the WTO system, the parties were able to reach an amicable solution through consultations, or the dispute was resolved otherwise without recourse to adjudication. In other disputes, parties have resorted to adjudication and, to date, such adjudication procedures have been completed in more than seventy-three disputes.
