Article summary

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has outlined the processes which will be followed in the coming months to ensure that the dispute settlement system is fully and well-functioning by the end of 2024. There will be monthly Head of Departments (HoDs) meetings and thematic meetings among experts representing WTO members. The first HoDs meeting that is expected to take place on 30 May 2024, will be centred around appeal/review and accessibility and will be open to capital-based officials through remote access. Thematic meetings among experts representing WTO members will focus on technical work, including drafting texts and at least one of these will be open to remote access by capital-based officials. Members have further been invited to nominate experts to be co-conveners for a variety of areas of technical work in the process.
