Abstract:	With specific respect to AD & SCM Agreements, considerations successfully balanced by Uruguay negotiators included: counteract unfair trade practices; fair-trade-blocking corruption; respect Member’s sovereignty. A paucity of panel decisions results in an impossibility to assess whether the United States realized its defensive negotiating objectives. “Because of ambiguities throughout the covered agreements, a great deal of interpretation needs to be done. As panels and Appellate Body divisions attempt to decipher the meaning of these agreements, U.S trade practitioners must be vigilant to ensure that the limited gains made during the Uruguay Round are not interpreted away during the adolescence of WTO jurisprudence.”
