This book is a review of the development of the WTO dispute
resolution procedure and the power and influence it has gained over
the practises of the member countries as well as in other
international treaties. The book addresses the development of
environmental competency in the WTO and examines the arguments of
those who oppose WTO rule making with impacts on the environment.
The WTO's interactions with multilateral environmental agreements
are considered and recent WTO cases including the 2011 US/Mexico
tuna dispute and the US sea turtles decision are analysed in
detail. In examining how an international organisation which was
established with a specific purpose in mind has come to interact in
fields beyond its original remit, James Watson demonstrates how the
dispute resolution system at the WTO has come to work in a
judicialised manner, operating with an informal system of
precedent. This has led to the contracting parties placing more
reliance on the decisions of the dispute panels and appeal body
when considering policy options, with WTO rulings increasingly
influencing the behaviour of national legislatures in regard to the
environment. The book goes on to make concrete recommendations,
based on existing practise in the WTO dispute resolution procedure,
which could enhance decision making in environmental cases heard by
the WTO. The book argues that this could be achieved with
straightforward amendments to the WTO, based on existing practices
endorsed under the WTO for other policy considerations. The WTO and
the Environment will be of particular interest to academics and
students of International and Environmental law.
