The legitimacy of the WTO's decision-making process has always been
questioned, and many have advocated public participation mechanisms
as a remedy. Yves Bonzon considers the limits and potential of
these mechanisms by advancing a conceptual framework which
distinguishes the four 'implementation parameters' of public
participation: the goal, the object, the modalities, and the
actors. He addresses the issue of legitimacy by considering to what
extent, and by virtue of which legal developments, one can see
implementing the democratic principle as a goal for public
participation in the context of the WTO. By analysing the
institutional structure of the WTO and its different types of
decisions, he then outlines how this goal should influence the
object and modalities of public participation, which
decision-making procedures should be opened to public
participation, and how the mechanisms should be implemented in
practice. Finally, he suggests specific amendments to existing WTO
arrangements on public participation.
