Notice of Opportunity To Apply For Nomination to the World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement Rosters of Panel Candidates

Résumé

The DSU provides a mechanism for the settlement of disputes among members of the WTO. A three-person panel conducts each dispute settlement proceeding and issues a report for consideration by the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in which representatives of all WTO members participate. Section 123(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), Public Law 103-405, provides that the Trade Representative shall seek to ensure that persons appointed to the WTO roster are well-qualified and that the roster includes persons with expertise in all of the subject matters covered by the Uruguay Round Agreements. USTR invites citizens of the United States with appropriate qualifications to apply for consideration as a nominee to the roster.
