Dispute Settlement and the GATT Policy Negotiations
In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Dispute Settlement: The process of negotiation, consultation, conciliation or mediation, and resolution of trade-policy conflicts between GATT Contracting Parties, usually through a negotiated compromise between opposing claims. GATT Articles 22 and 23 establish the basis for procedures a Contracting Party may follow –sometimes including referral to an impartial panel of experts orworking party of countries not involved in the dispute –to obtain redress if it believes its benefits under GATT have been impaired. See consultations.
