Dispute Recognition and Dispute
Settlement in Integration Processes:
The COMESA Experience
P. Kenneth Kiplagat*
I. INTRODUCMION
This article examines the theoretical and practical issues relating
to the resolution of trade disputes within regional integration arrange-
ments in developing countries in general, and within the Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) in particular.
This examination will focus mainly on the institutions that exist for the
resolution of trade disputes and at whose initiative they can be set in
motion. A further examination will deal with what body of laws the
various dispute resolution institutions regard as supreme and the rem-
edies that are available.
Because of the relative frailty of regional institutions in the devel-
oping world coupled with the relative unsophistication of domestic
dispute resolution regimes, a critical analysis of the differentiation be-
tween dispute avoidance and dispute resolution will be undertaken.
Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms will also be explored.
