Abstract

The paper describes the trend towards availability of provisional measures in international law. It then shows that there is a need for provisional measures in the WTO dispute resolution mechanism. Examples of provisional measures available at other international institutions are discussed. In particular, the European Eution example provides guidance on the types of provisional measures to be applied and how to apply them. A special proposal is made to address emergency relief situations where the timeframe for the formation of a WTO panel does not allow for appropriate relief.

Keywords: International Law, WTO, Provisional Measures
