Thesis: Challenges to the WTO Appellate Body Legal Interpretations: a Diplomat's mise-en-scène.
Description: It scrutinizes the AB jurisprudence in the light of the diplomatic mise-en-scène during the DSB Meetings, and academic critiques, sometimes written with vested interests. It is limited to the disputed cases by WTO Members during the DSB Meetings on the issued AB Reports. It assesses the fairness of these alleged criticisms, the AB adjudicative reality, and proposes improvements. It verifies the systematic coherence and internal consistency of the AB jurisprudence scrutinizing and differentiating AB Reports. It proposes a WTO-AB Theory of Adjudication. It Proposes a Solution to John Jackson GATT's Puzzle.
State of Art: Writing the final chapter.
