Restoring the Appellate Body

I had blogged here about appealing into the void at the WTO. 

For anyone interested in WTO dispute settlement and a possible solution to the impasse of the Appellate Body crisis, a detailed piece in the PIIE blog by the former Deputy Director General of the WTO Alan Wm Wolff on the history, tensions, alternatives and possible way forward is an exhaustive read. It lays down the history of the dispute settlement system, the US view on what is wrong with it, the fundamental difference between the US and EU on the way it should function as well as what can be done to resolve the issue.

A must read for an inner ring view of how the Appellate Body is viewed in the United States.
