Abstract :
ABSTRACT
Indonesia is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). As a
member of the WTO, it is only natural that Indonesia complies with all the rules
made by the WTO. In international trade activities carried out by several
countries, trade disputes are common. There are various disputes in international
trade, one of which is the dumping dispute. All international trade disputes can be
resolved bilaterally or through the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). Dispute
settlement through the WTO DSB must be based on the Dispute Settlement
Understanding. Indonesia, which is a member of the WTO, has had several
disputes with other countries at the WTO. In 2015, Indonesia had a dispute with
the United States related to anti-dumping and countervailing measures on certain
coated paper, this dispute was resolved through the WTO with case number DS
491. In the conclusion of the settlement of case DS 491 listed on the WTO
website, it seems that the settlement of this dispute is not in line with the DSU.
Thus, through this there are two problems in this study: (1) how does the WTO
regulate anti-dumping and enforce the anti-dumping policy? and (2) how was the
anti-dumping regulation implemented by the DSB-WTO in the case of antidumping
and countervailing measures on certain coated paper between Indonesia and the US?.
This research is a literature research with the research method is normative juridical
and has an analytical descriptive nature. The object of this research is
anything related to the WTO's regulation of the anti-dumping rules. The materials
used in this research are international trade regulations, journals, books, internet
and English dictionaries. After all the necessary data is collected, the method used
to analyze this data is a qualitative method.
The results of this study, (1) The regulation of anti-dumping measures is
regulated by the WTO through Article VI of the GATT and the Ant-Dumping
Agreement, then for arrangements related to the enforcement of this anti-dumping
policy is regulated in the DSU, (2) In this DS 491 case, the panel has analyzed the
anti-dumping and countervailing measures case on certain coated paper between
Indonesia and the US in accordance with Article 17.6 of the DSU, where in
