Abstract

This article provides an overview of, and a short comment on the WTO's Rules of Conduct for the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes. After an introduction, the nine articles and three annexes of the Rules are described. Next, some comments are made. The article concludes arguing that some clarifications to the Rules could be made. However, these are not expected to be realised shortly, since there is as yet little or no experience with the Rules. Interpretative issues regarding the Rules appear unlikely to be invoked frequently for fear of impairing the success of the dispute settlement process.
