Introduction

Two thirds of the developing countries that have participated in WTO dispute settlement proceedings - 30 in total - have become Members of the ACWL.  The 44 LDCs that are Members of the WTO or in the process of acceding to the WTO are entitled to the services of the ACWL without having to become ACWL Members. Developed countries may become Members of the ACWL for the purposes of contributing to its expenses, but are not entitled to its services. The current Members of the ACWL are listed below.
