Ten years ago this week, China acceded to the World Trade Organization [WTO]. Prior to that, the United States granted China permanent normal trade relations, or PNTR. This Commission was formed in that process with a mandate to monitor human rights and the development of the rule of law, or the lack of progress thereof, in China. In 1998, two years before China joined the WTO, I chaired a hearing of the Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights of the Foreign Affairs Committee which examined whether bringing China into the WTO would improve its human rights record. As a member of the WTO, China has experienced tremendous economic growth and integration into the global economy. But as this Commission's most recent annual report documents, China continues to massively violate the basic human rights of its own people and systematically undermines the rule of law.

This book examines aspects of the operation of the WTO dispute settlement system during the first ten years of the WTO. It covers a representative cross-section of the issues and situations WTO Members have dealt with under the Dispute Settlement Understanding. The book is unique in that it includes contributions from virtually the entire gamut of actors involved in the day-to-day operation of the WTO dispute settlement system: Member government representatives, private lawyers who litigate on behalf of Member governments in the system, Appellate Body members, Appellate Body Secretariat staff, and WTO Secretariat staff. It also includes contributions from several academics who closely follow and carefully scrutinize all that goes on within the system. It therefore provides fascinating insights into how the system has operated in practice, and how the lessons of the first decade can be applied to make the system even more successful in the years to come.

"This book provides a timely exploration of what the WTO is, what it does, and the complicated politics involved in its negotiations and rulings. Confronting the controversy surrounding the WTO head-on, the author highlights issues of power, marginalization, and development, and raises the important question of whether it actually deserves the reputation it has come to acquire."--BOOK JACKET.
