The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC), in co-operation with the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has announced it is organising a workshop on dispute settlement mechanism.
The workshop will take place at the ministry’s headquarters in Lusail City from today until July 19.
This workshop falls in line with the ministry’s efforts to promote capacity-building among legal professionals, economists and official experts in international co-operation and agreements, enabling them to develop their skills in the fields of international negotiations, trade and dispute settlement within the framework of the WTO.
The workshop will also equip participants with the technical skills and qualifications to understand all aspects of the trade dispute settlement mechanism within the WTO so that they could contribute to providing specialised services to various private and public sector entities.
The four-day workshop will bring together a number of employees from several government agencies and institutions, as well as lawyers and representatives of law firms, to discuss a number of issues related to the dispute settlement mechanism at the WTO.
The workshop will introduce participants to the concept of the dispute settlement mechanism, the parties involved in the process and the core procedures of the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism.
Attendees will also participate in a simulated dispute settlement within the framework of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body.
