Abstract

Anti-dumping disputes are types of trade disputes in international trade. There are more and more countries actively conducting anti-dumping investigations on imported goods, including Vietnam’s export goods. Many decisions taken by the Authorities have not received the approval of the involved parties. As a result, disputes over anti-dumping investigations happen. The settlement of anti-dumping disputes has become a necessity for parties to protect their legitimate rights and interests. This prompted the establishment of a dispute settlement body between member countries of the WTO including disputes related to anti-dumping matters. The objectives of this article are to analyze the mechanism of anti-dumping dispute settlement under WTO regulations; use case studies of anti-dumping dispute settlement of WTO to evaluate the role of WTO in anti-dumping dispute settlement mechanism in general; and most importantly, review the effectiveness of Vietnam’s participation as a complainant, respondent, or a third party.
