Abstract

On December 11 th, the World Trade Organization Appellate Body was shut down because of an insufficient number of judges. It was the first shutdown in nearly 25 years and a serious crisis in the history of the WTO. This paper introduces and evaluates some existing suggestions on how to get out of the deadlock, and analyzes the feasibility of these suggestions.Finally, the author makes a suggestion: the establishment of a new appeals body whose functions should complement the existing dispute settlement mechanism
