Future Of World Trade Organization In Doubt Following Paralysis Of Appellate Body

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - DECEMBER 11: The headquarters of the World Trade Organization (WTO) stands on December 11, 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland. The future of the WTO is in doubt following the blockade by the Untied States of appointments to the WTO's Appellate Body, which after the departure by two members recently has left the WTO unable to issue rulings on trade disputes. This makes the WTO unable to act as an arbiter and leaves the resolution of trade disputes to the disputing countries, a situation many analysts fear will disrupt global trade.
