In this episode, Tan Albayrak first tells us about his academic and professional career path, with a particular emphasis on his WTO experience in Geneva. Then, we discuss the current developments on the emerging trade wars, especially with respect to the national security justifications under Article XXI GATT, considering the US Section 232 case as well as the recent panel ruling on DS512. Finally, Tan shares his opinions on the future of WTO, assessing what kind of alternatives member states can find to WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body, in case the current discussions and disagreements on abolishing the WTO system would lead to a deeper crisis in multilateral trade.
