Rousseau and the law of the World Trade Organizaiton
This article takes Rousseau's proposition that a norm is just if everyone agrees with it unanimously, and applies it to the World Trade Organization's (WTO) law. Since WTO law is adopted and amended with every Member's involvement and consensus, it can be inferred that normatively it is just. Moreover, some factual doubts regarding the adoption and amendment are dealt with and finally rejected, as well as certain circumstances that could prevent deducing a norm's justice. Moreover, Rousseau's notions also allow us to highlight some interesting aspects of WTO dispute settlement. In sum, it is possible to infer that WTO law is just according to the criteria set out by Rousseau.
