In my view, what underlies the high rate of compliance with WTO decisions is not the sanction at the end of the litigation, but rather the integrity of the dispute settlement system. The governments get their day in court, can even appeal, and then get considerable time to implement the panel decision. This process helps a government gain the domestic political support that it needs to correct the A/TO violation.

世贸组织判决高履约率背后的原因是争端解决系统体系的完整统一性,在这种体系下,政府到庭听审、甚至可以去上诉,接下来有大量的时间履行专家小组的判决。
