BRICS calls for immediate restoration of WTO dispute settlement mechanism

BRICS, an intergovernmental organization consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has called for the immediate restoration of a fully functional, two-tier binding World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism.
