DSM their – Dispute settlement mechanism: A WTO forum introduced in 1995, that parties may use to assert rights under multilateral trade agreements. It prohibits a member from resorting to unilateral action in response to alleged violations by other members. All 144 members have exactly the same right to seek redress if they believe one of their trading partners is breaking WTO rules. Thus the mechanism protects weaker members against arbitrary or unilateral action by the strongest. It is therefore one of the cornerstones of the WTO DSP – A dispute settlement panel in the WTO is a body established ad hoc to give a ruling in a trade- related dispute between two trading nations. It issues a report, which is then adopted by the DSB, and may be appeled to the Appellate Body. DSU – Dispute Settlement Understanding: WTO Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round about the Dispute Settlement called ―Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes‖.
