Trade disputes --- According to the WTO website, as of December 31, 2020, 598 disputes were referred to the Dispute Settlement Body by WTO members.

A mutually agreed-upon solution was always preferred, which in most cases related to consultations between contesting members within the structure of WTO dispute settlement processes.
