WTO disputes

WTO disputes arise when countries believe that trade rules set by the World Trade Organization (WTO) are being violated. These disputes can involve issues like tariffs, subsidies, or import restrictions. When a member nation feels wronged, it can bring the case to the WTO, which provides a structured process for resolving trade conflicts. The WTO encourages negotiations and discussions to settle disputes, but if those fail, it can issue rulings that members are expected to follow. This system aims to ensure fair trading practices and help maintain international trade order.
