In December 2019, the WTO Appellate Body, the heart of global trade governance, encountered an unprecedented impasse due to the United States blockade on the appointment of its members. This paper delves into the emergence of the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA) as a provisional solution to this deadlock. Established by the European Union and trade partners, and now endorsed by 53 WTO members, the MPIA aims to temporarily fill the void left by the paralyzed Appellate Body by utilizing Article 25 of the DSU. Through a juridical normative methodology complemented by historical and descriptive analysis, this study critically evaluates the MPIA's role within the context of international trade dispute resolution. It compares the MPIA's innovative mechanism against the traditional WTO dispute settlement mechanisms, illuminating both its merits and limitations. The paper argues that while the MPIA represents a creative and necessary stopgap, beyond this, it is not a solution for the challenges facing the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism. The findings emphasize the crucial element for comprehensive reform within the WTO's Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM) to regain its functionality and credibility in international trade dispute settlement.

“…El sistema de solución de diferencias de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) enfrenta la mayor crisis desde su origen en 1995. En lo que pudiere ser el fin del sistema basado en normas (Brewster, 2019;Patch, 2019), Estados Unidos ha obstruido el nombramiento para las vacantes en el Órgano de Apelación (OA) de la OMC (Lehne, 2019;Bäumler, 2020), el que, por tanto, no ha podido funcionar efectivamente desde diciembre de 2019. Por lo anterior, las apelaciones quedarán pendientes y el Órgano de Solución de Diferencias (OSD) de la OMC no podrá adoptar el informe del grupo especial, con arreglo al artículo 16.4 del Entendimiento de la OMC relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias (comúnmente denominado Entendimiento sobre Solución de Diferencias [ESD]). Por tanto, el informe del grupo especial no será vinculante y las partes no podrán exigir su cumplimiento.…”

El sistema de solución de diferencias de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) está en crisis desde que su Órgano de Apelación dejó de funcionar en diciembre de 2019. Como consecuencia, el Órgano de Solución de Diferencias de la OMC no puede adoptar el informe de un grupo especial si una parte en la diferencia notifica su intención de apelar. En ese contexto, el presente artículo analiza qué factores pueden influir en la decisión de las partes reclamantes de recurrir a dos acuerdos comerciales regionales (ACR), la Alianza del Pacífico y el Tratado Integral y Progresista de Asociación Transpacífico (CPTPP), como foros alternativos a la solución de diferencias de la OMC. Tras un análisis comparativo de las normas de solución de diferencias en ambos ACR, y en el Entendimiento sobre Solución de Diferencias de la OMC, concluimos que los factores procesales e institucionales serán posiblemente relevantes para las partes reclamantes que deseen seleccionar un foro de solución de diferencias.
