Os Estados Unidos, a Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) e o Órgão de Solução de Controvérsias (OSC): Um estudo sobre o contencioso da indústria de cítricos brasileira nos Estados Unidos (2005 – 2013)

Abstract

The objective of this source is to analyze the transition process between the GATT and the creation of the World Trade Organization, surprising the number of member countries that would respond to established rules and by the Dispute Settlement Body (DSS), something unprecedented globally until so. We will try to show in this work how this process has favored (and still favors) the United States. In order to understand the organization and the successive treaties, it is necessary to analyze the historical context in which it was used, the countries that made it possible and the agreements that preceded it. The paper uses the orange juice litigation dispute between the United States and Brazil to exemplify how the dispute settlement processes of the DSS take place.
