Abstract

This paper discusses the international responsibility of the State and the

role of international jurisdictions – specifically analyzing the international

responsibility of the United States in the commercial jurisdiction of the World Trade

Organization, utilizing the WTO-OSC/DS267, known as the Upland Cotton case. For

the State, it is inevitable that there will always be conflicts of interest subject to

internationally recognized trade rules. This leads to a situation where international

organizations need to implement a harmonization mechanism using decisions based

on the regulation of international trade. Moreover, a State has the obligation to repair

damage caused by disrespecting principles of Public International Law. Furthermore,

general principles of international law apply to the WTO and its agreements. In this

sense, the relationship of international responsibility in the WTO Dispute Settlement

System (SSC) transcends party involvement in disputes as it concerns all the WTO

members.
