2007 International Conference on Policy and Laws of Asia and WTO Rules and Practices of Dispute Settlement Mechanism
(Tentative Agenda)
11 March 2007
Host Institute: Asian Center for WTO and International Health Law and Policy, NTU College of Law
Asian Center for WTO and International Health Law and Policy, NTU College of Law (ACWH) will host the Asian Regional Round of the WTO Moot Court Competition on WTO Law from 8 to 10 March 2007 to be held in Taipei. University teams from some Asian WTO Member countries will participate in the competition. As there will be a number of prominent scholars serving as the moot court judges, as well as law students interested in WTO law (or more generally, in international law) and their coaches, we thought that it would be a good opportunity for the judges and coaches to engage in intellectual exchange on WTO issues not directly related to the topic of the competition. The exchanges will further allow the participants of the moot court competition to explore the fascinating world of WTO Law and policy issues as well as, participate in substantive discussions. We therefore propose to hold this conference to be held immediately after the dates of the competition.
