By joining the WTO, member countries have agreed that if they believe fellow members are in violation of trade rules, they will use the multilateral system of settling disputes instead of taking action unilaterally — this entails abiding by agreed procedures—Dispute Settlement Understanding—and respecting judgments, primarily of the Dispute Settlement Board (DSB), the WTO organ responsible for adjudication of disputes.
加入世贸组织后，各成员国一致认为，如果他们认为成员违反贸易规则，他们将采用多边解决争端的制度，而不是单方面采取行动——这必须遵守商定的程序（Dispute Settlement Understanding）并尊重判决，主要由负责裁决争端的WTO机构争端解决委员会（Dispute Settlement Board，DSB）负责。
