Abstract
Current political challenges facing the WTO Appellate Body raise
fundamental questions about the relationship between rules and values in
international adjudication. This paper applies insights from legal philosophy
to identify the role values should play in WTO adjudication. It argues that
nothing about the specifics of WTO law would justify excluding values from
adjudication; that the doctrinal, political and institutional context of WTO
adjudication makes a positivist account of the role of values untenable; but
an anti-positivist account requires complementing established economic
accounts of WTO law’s purpose with an account of fairness and justice in
trade and trade regulation.
