selection process
The application form should be submitted along with a recent CV detailing the participant's knowledge and experience in WTO dispute settlement. A selection process will be conducted to fill the thirty available spaces for government officials from Members and Observers. Participants from Members and Observers that are not eligible for funded trade-related technical assistance will be required to self-fund their participation.
Pre-requisite
The Course will be conducted in Spanish. All-round proficiency in Spanish is therefore an essential prerequisite for participation.
Participants must possess a legal background and be directly involved at a technical, practical and/or policy level with WTO dispute settlement. Preference will be given to candidates who have already completed a "Level 2" WTO training activity, in particular the "Level 2 WTO thematic dispute settlement course" or who have commensurate knowledge or professional experience.
