Summary
The Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) was one of the chief results of the Uruguay Round. Dispute settlement under the GATT had not been binding. Adoption of panel reports could be, and too often was, blocked by the losing party. All of the major trading members wanted dispute settlement to be binding, to have definitive results. They carefully constructed a complex system to remedy past defects. It had internal inconsistencies that only became apparent over time.
