Revolution in international trade dispute settlements
Article Abstract:
The Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) created an alternative dispute system for international trade disputes. The Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) is the General Council of the World Trade Organization. The GATT rules define strict time limits for the dispute process. An appellate body can review decisions. The system will create more demand for alternative dispute resolution and insist that disputants be clear in concise in making claims.

Abuse by caretakers: arbitral views on discipline
Article Abstract:
Arbitrators involved in caretaker abuse disputes must carefully inform themselves about the special nature of such disputes. The definition of abuse may depend on the environment in which the abusive act takes place. Abuse of a mental health patient may not be the same as abuse of a prisoner or of a school child. Arbitrators must be sensitive to the rights of the accused, especially when there are no witnesses to the event.
