Interested Third Parties

Interested third parties in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, interested third parties is: a mechanism under the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes which allows for the consideration of the interests of member countries in a dispute in which they are not directly involved. Such members have the right to be heard by a panel and to make submissions to it, but to do so they must be able to show through trade figures that they have a substantial interest in the matter. The entries on trade policy are here. A mere interest in the principles being argued is not enough.[1]
