World Trade Organization: Appellate Body Formally "Stopped" on the 11th

The Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Azevedo, announced on December 10 that the Appellate Body was officially “closed” from the 11th. This will undoubtedly damage the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, but it does not mean that the rules-based dispute settlement mechanism is coming to an end. . (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
