Disputes in the WTO arise when one country adopts a trade policy measures or takes someactions that one or more members considers to be inconsistent with the obligations set out inthe WTO agreements. Settling trade disputes in atimely and structured manner is importantin order to realise the practical value of the commitments the signatories undertake in WTOagreements.
