Week 17: Non-Discrimination in International Economic Law
These lectures cover the fundamental principles of Most-Favoured Nation Treatment and National Treatment in the WTO agreements. They concentrate on the jurisprudence of WTO Panels and the Appellate Body concerning GATT Articles I and III, and GATS Articles II and XVII. Non-discrimination is a core principle of the international trading system, and a detailed understanding of its meaning in international trade law will be of particular interest to all interested in WTO law, including government, NGOs, international lawyers and academics.
