During one week, the participants have been actively involved in interactive training organized under the auspices of the WTO Institute for Training and Technical Co-operation with the active co-operation of the Secretariat of the Appellate Body and the Legal Affairs Division.
The course started with an introduction to the WTO with a particular focus
placed on the role and the functioning of the Dispute Settlement mechanism
in the rule-based multilateral trading system. Participants were then
rapidly engaged in a simulation exercise which allowed them to develop
practical knowledge and skills throughout the various steps of the WTO
dispute settlement procedures. An update on recent developments in the area
of dispute settlement as well as on the current review of the Dispute
Settlement Understanding concluded the training programme.
All participants from least-developed countries and a number of developing
countries' representatives were financed out of the WTO regular budget.
These courses are organized pursuant to the mandate given to the Secretariat
by Art. 27.3 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the
Settlement of Disputes, which foresees that training shall be provided to
interested WTO Members. The course, which is part of the WTO Training and
Technical Assistance Plan for 2006, was held in English.
