    No Outsourcing of Law?WTO Law as Practiced by WTO Courts
    in American journal of international law , Vol.102, n.3 ,  2008 ,  421-474
    The framers of the WTO defined the legal and policy space committed to the WTO, but the organization’s adjudicating bodies decide on interpretation. Adjudicating bodies often refer to various extra-WTO elements as supplementary means of interpretation typically used only to support a conclusion already reached. A continuing neglect of non-WTOsources is likely to have an increasingly great impact as the character of trade disputes evolves and as WTO members assess whether WTO adjudication provides an effective forum for their disputes.
