NAFTA and North American Trade · US History

Under NAFTA, what happened to the 'Chapter 19' dispute resolution panels?

  1. They were used to settle disagreements regarding anti-dumping and countervailing duties
  2. They were abolished and replaced by a single supreme North American trade court
  3. They were suspended pending review by the World Trade Organization in Geneva
  4. They were relocated permanently to the United Nations headquarters building in New York City
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: They were used to settle disagreements regarding anti-dumping and countervailing duties

Chapter 19 was a key demand for Canada, as it allowed for binational panels to review trade disputes rather than relying solely on the domestic courts of the importing country. This was seen as a way to ensure fairness in trade rulings.
