This book examines the legal ramifications and impact of trade restrictions on sustainable development. It evaluates the role of international and regional dispute resolution mechanisms in promoting timely resolutions to minimize adverse sustainable development impacts.

Analysing the gaps and challenges faced by trade and dispute resolution institutions, the book focuses on the role of the WTO in advancing trade multilateralism and dispute resolution in times of trade restrictions. It discusses the legal and diplomatic strategies through which blockaded States can minimize trade and economic disruptions in a manner that advances sustainable development. Using the State of Qatar as a case study, the book examines how countries impacted by trade restrictions can balance competing interests of recalibrating international trade and promoting sustainable development goals. It also covers how blockaded States can fulfil their obligations under a wide range of multilateral treaties. Additionally, the book provides suggestions for sustainable reforms needed to build effective, neutral, and resilient dispute resolution systems at national, regional, and international levels. It presents practical recommendations on policy frameworks to enhance trade resilience in countries under economic blockade and restrictions.

The book will be an essential resource for academics and researchers in the fields of trade, investment, dispute resolution, sustainable development, international law and diplomatic studies.
