This paper analyses the legal nature of the dispute settlement system in the World Trade Organization. It places the Panel stage at the heart of it and stresses the crucial role of the World Trade Organization Secretariat. It submits proposals for structural reform. It qualifies Panel reports as a product of a legal agency process in global administrative law. It consequently recalibrates the role of the Appellate Body with a view to bring about checks and balances. This paper explores the neglected role of standards of review of the Appellate Body vis-à-vis Panels. While securing a continued leading role of the Appellate Body on constitutional issues and fundamental principles of the system, it suggests a more deferential standard of reasonableness in reviewing Panel findings on World Trade Organization rules.

本文分析了世界贸易组织争端解决制度的法律性质。它将小组舞台置于其核心，并强调了世界贸易组织秘书处的关键作用。它提出了结构改革的建议。它将专家组报告定性为全球行政法中法律代理程序的产物。因此，它重新调整了上诉机构的作用，以实现制衡。本文探讨了上诉机构的审查标准相对于专家组被忽视的作用。在确保上诉机构在宪法问题和体系基本原则上继续发挥领导作用的同时，它建议在审查专家组对世界贸易组织规则的调查结果时采用更加尊重的合理标准。
