Summary
The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) submitted a request to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Panel on June 20, 2006, asking for the first panel hearing in the Brazil—Retreaded Tyres case (WT/DS332) to be web-cast to the public.
Key insights
- The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) requested that the WTO Panel consult with parties in the Brazil—Retreaded Tyres (WT/DS332) case to allow the first panel hearing to be web-cast. CIEL argues that internet access would facilitate participation for citizens globally, particularly those from developing countries who cannot afford to travel to Geneva.
- CIEL cites a precedent from the Beef Hormones dispute settlement process in September 2005, where the European Communities allowed a panel meeting to be viewed by the public via closed-circuit television broadcast. CIEL views this as a step toward a more transparent and democratic WTO, especially for cases involving the environment, safety, and public health.
