  • Report on the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization
    REPORT ON THE APPELLATE BODY OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION Office of the United States Trade Representative Ambassador Robert E. Lighthizer February 2020 INTRODUCTION For more than 20 years, the United States has expressed concerns that the dispute settlement system of the World Trade Organization – and in particular its Appellate Body – has not functioned according to the rules agreed by the United States and other WTO Members. This Report details those concerns and assesses the repeated failure of the Appellate Body to apply the rules of the WTO agreements in a manner that adheres to the text of those agreements. Specifically, the Appellate Body has added to U.S. obligations and diminished U.S. rights by failing to comply with WTO rules, addressing issues it has no authority to address, taking actions it has no authority to take, and interpreting WTO agreements in ways not envisioned by the WTO Members who entered into those agreements. This persistent overreaching is plainly contrary to the Appellate Body’s limited mandate, as set out in WTO rules. On a more fundamental level, this overreaching also violates the basic principles of the United States Government. There is no legitimacy under our democratic, constitutional system for the nation to submit to a rule imposed by three individuals sitting in Geneva, with neither agreement by the United States nor approval by the United States Congress. The Appellate Body has consistently acted to increase its own authority while decreasing the authority of the United States and other WTO Members, which, unlike the individuals on the Appellate Body, are accountable to the citizens in their countries – citizens whose lives and livelihoods are affected by the WTO’s decisions.

Subscribe for $1/mo. Missoula writer Michael Punke's historical novel, "The Revenant," was adapted into the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Punke served as U.S. ambassador to the World Trade Organization during the production and release, and was barred from promoting the book or movie by government ethics rules. TOMMY MARTINO, Missoulian 'Revenant' author Michael Punke: Historical writing is 'screaminglySHARE THIS n February 2016, Michael Punke attended the Academy Awards ceremony, where "The I Revenant," the movie based on his historical novel, won three Oscars. While most authors would be eager to do interviews, he couldn't. He was serving as U.S. ambassador to the World Trade Organization, and by government rules couldn't talk about his book, which had become a bestseller, or the movie, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. Now back in the private sector and living in Missoula again, Punke is free to discuss "The Revenant" and his previous inability to discuss it because of ethics rules that forbid self- promotion. "You don't get drafted for those jobs," he said. "To volunteer, you want to do it, and that goes with the territory, or at least it should, and so I knew going in that that would be one of the limitations." Besides his professional work, he has a deep interest in the history of the American West, both in fiction and nonfiction.

  • The Revenant by Michael Punke
    P I C A D O R Reading Group Gold The Revenant By Michael Punke 1. While Michael Punke was reading a book about the American West, he discovered a snippet about Hugh Glass. Fascinated by Glass’s story, he began to study his life and times, research that would find its way into his novel, The Revenant. How does the fact that many of the characters were real historical figures affect your reading? Would the novel have been as compelling if it had been entirely fictional? 2. While we live in much different times than Glass, grizzly bear attacks are not unheard of. If you were in Glass’s position, how would you have reacted? What could Glass have done differently? 3. After the bear attack renders Glass immobile and near death, the Captain asks his brigade for two volunteers to stay behind and tend to Glass until he passes. Bridger agrees to stay to “salve his wounded pride,” and Fitzgerald stays solely for the extra money. Do you think Bridger’s reason to stay is any better than Fitzgerald? 4. Shortly after Glass is abandoned, he has a dream that he is attacked by a rattlesnake. When he wakes, he realizes it was just a dream, and he also discovers that his fever has broken. What could this dream represent? 5. As the novel progresses, Punke provides backstories for some of the central characters, including Glass, via flashback. We learn that Glass was once employed as a freighter captain for Rawsthorne & Sons’. After learning of his father’s death, Glass hops aboard a Spanish merchant ship to return to Philadelphia to tend to family matters.
