Legal aspects of trade disputes between China and Australia at the WTO

The existence of a mechanism to regulate the emerging contradictions is therefore a necessity. Thus, in the WTO system, a mechanism for resolving trade disputes between participants in the international market for goods and services has been established and is actively functioning. Despite the detailed and precise regulation of the procedure for resolving trade disputes, problems cannot be avoided in practice. According to WTO documents, all member states have access to the dispute settlement mechanism, but developing countries use this possibility much less frequently than developed countries. This is mainly due to a lack of financial resources and difficulties in finding qualified experts to deal with such cases. Aspects of these disputes are the subject of my undergraduate research. Differences in the extent of savings are particularly noticeable. Caution should be exercised here, as one of the WTO's principles for dispute settlement is non-discrimination. The main objective of my thesis is to identify the main legal aspects of trade disputes between countries at the WTO. I have chosen to achieve this objective by analysing the disputes between China and Australia. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the mechanism of trade dispute settlement between China and Australia, to identify the causes of the imperfections in the system and to propose practical solutions to improve the current situation.
