GATT Panel Reports

Full-text

GATT panel reports are available as PDF files from the WTO website.  Reports are arranged in chronological order.  If the report was published in the GATT Basic Instruments and Selected Documents series (BISD),* a citation to the relevant GATT BISD volume or supplement is provided in brackets after the short title of the dispute.

*Most reports issued by GATT dispute settlement panels prior to the creation of the WTO are published in the print GATT BISD, an official compilation of GATT-related documents.  

This Westaw database includes the full texts of reports by WTO dispute settlement panels (1995-present) and by GATT dispute settlement panels (1948-1994).  It also includes selected procedural documents, such as requests for  consultations and requests for the establishment of dispute resolution panels. To access this database, from the Westlaw Homepage go to International Materials > International Arbitration Materials > WTO & GATT Panels.
