Title: Russia’s participation in the WTO’s trade disputes in 2022 
Abstract: For several years now, the WTO system, in particular the mechanism for resolving trade disputes, is facing a crisis. The main reasons are as follows: growth of protectionism, trade wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic problems, primarily, freezing of the Appellate Body (AB). According to the U.S., the AB exceeds authority, sometimes making decisions outside of the WTO law, which creates rights or obligations for member states that are not provided for in the existing WTO agreements, violating time limits for consideration of appeals. Many WTO member states agree on the need for reforms.
