GATT and WTO jurisprudence Sample Clauses

GATT and WTO jurisprudence. Four cases involving the security exception can be said to have reached the level of formalized dispute settlement under Article XXIII of the GATT 1947: Shortly after the creation of the GATT, in 1949, the United States, through a system of export licenses, imposed a ban on the export of certain products to Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia, in turn, resorted to dispute settlement under Article XXIII and the United States invoked, inter alia, Article XXI, not as a proce- dural defence but as a substantive one. Although the Contracting Parties “decided to reject the contention of the Czechoslovak delegation that the Government of the United States had failed to carry out its obligations under the Agreement through its administration of the issue of export licences”,226 they did not altogether deny their formal Article XXIII jurisdiction over matters involving Article XXI of the GATT 1947.
