Of Substantial Interest: Third Parties Under Gatt, Chi Carmody
Of Substantial Interest: Third Parties Under Gatt, Chi Carmody
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article's examination of the status of third parties under GATT is important for several reasons, one of which is the proliferation of third party participation as demonstrated by Bananas III. A second reason for its importance is that there has been little written about third parties under GATT.

This note suggests two solutions to this quandary. First, the newly emerging bloc of peace-declaring nations in the Middle East should consider establishing a regional free trade area. However, instead of reducing the tariffs of "substantially all" of the region's products as would normally be required by Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 9-the authoritative provision regulating free trade areas-this note argues that a Middle East free trade area should reduce trade barriers only …
