DNLU offers Advanced Single Credit Course on Trade Remedies under WTO

The Centre for Studies in International Trade and International Investment Laws (CITIL) of the Dharmashastra National Law University, Jabalpur (DNLU), the Centre for WTO Studies (CWS), and the Centre for Research on International Trade (CRIT) of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, New Delhi, are jointly organising an Advanced Single Credit Course on Trade Remedies under the WTO.

Trade remedies are a central tool of international trade, allowing governments to respond to unfair trade practices and protect domestic industries from injury caused by dumped imports, subsidized products, or surges in foreign products.

The legal structure of such measures is largely determined by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Anti-Dumping (ADA), Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM), and Safeguards agreements.

However, the application of these measures is typically politically motivated, and the ensuing disputes are settled by the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO, shaping global trade relations.

This Advanced Single Credit Course on Trade Remedies Under the WTO provides a thorough analysis of legal, economic, and policy aspects of trade remedies.

Designed for international trade law students, the course deals with both the abstract concepts and day-to-day application of anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty, and safeguard action.

The participants will understand the process under which these actions are examined, imposed, and challenged within the context of international trade litigation.

Special focus will be placed on India's trade remedy system to enable a comparative study with experience in the United States, the European Union, and China.

Focus Areas of the Course

This course will primarily focus on:

- Understanding the legal framework of Trade Remedies under WTO law.

- Examining Anti-dumping measures and their implementation across jurisdictions.

- Analysing Subsidies, Countervailing duties, and their impact on global trade.

- Exploring Safeguard measures and their role in trade policy.

- Engaging in practical case studies, global perspectives and trade remedy simulations.
