<h1>India Calls for WTO Appellate Body Restoration and Reforms at 13th Ministerial Conference for Fair Trade Dispute Resolution.</h1> India has urged for the restoration of the World Trade Organization's Appellate Body and reforms in dispute settlement at the WTO's 13th Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi. Since December 2019, the Appellate Body has been non-functional due to the United States blocking member appointments, undermining the WTO's credibility. India emphasized the need for a fully functional dispute settlement system by 2024, highlighting the challenges faced by developing countries in informal reform discussions. India proposed formalizing these discussions, ensuring inclusivity, transparency, and prioritizing the Appellate Body's restoration as part of a three-point action plan.
