Legal Research On Dispute Settlement Mechanism Of WTO

Dispute settlement mechanism (DSM) of WTO is a distinctive, new and complex system in the field of contemporary international economic dispute settlement. China has entered into WTO, whose dispute settlement mechanism will certainly influence the developments of the external trades of our country comprehensively. So it is very necessary and urgent to study and find out the corresponding measures. In recent years, researches on the dispute settlement mechanism have been attached to great attention. These researches not only affirm the positive functions of the mechanism, but also put forward a good number of corresponding suggestions for the problems exposed in practice. We should not be satisfied with DSM's present achievements, but more important we should point out its defects from the angle of its future development. And that means a lot for us to grasp firmly and comprehensively the present conditions and sense the future direction of DSM. The author acknowledges DSM of WTO with developing insight, and elaborates its proceeding regulations and analyses comparatively scientific and reasonable nature of some systems of DSM, such as the third party system, appeal procedure and proof rule. As a member of WTO, China should safeguard actively her economic interest by the means of the DSM of WTO. Eventually the author puts forward some advises on how to use DSM effectively and on how to develop it into a more scientific and reasonable level through her participation into special dispute.
