Given the somewhat qualified level of political commitment to the new WTO legal system
described in Part I of this essay, the limitations of present WTO remedies should not come as a
surprise to anyone. Nor should it be a surprise that the chances for broadening these remedies are
not very good. Indeed, if the likely outcome of the current imbroglio over Articles 21.5 and 22.6 is
any guide, the most likely direction of change in the near future will be toward relaxation of the rigor
that exists today.
