Abstract

Article VI of the GATT, 1947, for the first time, sought to standardize national anti-dumping laws by reference to international standards. The Kennedy Round and Tokyo Round Codes on anti-dumping further refined the concepts and provided procedural safeguards so as to curb the arbitrariness of national administrative authorities. The Uruguay Round produced a comprehensive anti-dumping code providing for judicial review of administrative action imposing anti-dumping duties on imported goods. But it is noticed that exporting countries often resort to the dispute settlement body of the WTO without exhausting judicial remedies provided by the legal system of the importing countries. This article argues that this bypassing of judicial remedies is a violation of Public International Law.
