| Impact statement: This article analyzes the participation of LDCs and small developing states in WTO dispute settlement processes, with a particular focus on how these countries often struggle to effectively challenge disputes due to systemic barriers. The paper advocates for reforms in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism to improve access and representation for these smaller, less economically powerful countries. It contributes to global discussions on trade justice, equity in international law, and strengthening global trade systems to promote equality and participation. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: • WTO dispute settlement • LDCs (Least Developed Countries) • Small Developing States • Global trade justice • International tr |
