A Model for Resolving Trade Disputes Between Indonesia and Brazil Regarding Imports of Chicken Meat from Brazil According to the World Trade Organization

Abstract

This study discusses the model of resolving trade disputes between Indonesia and Brazil related to chicken meat imports from Brazil based on World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. The dispute stems from Indonesia's policy of regulating halal standards and restricting imports of Brazilian chicken, which is considered to violate international trade rules, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and several other WTO agreements. The formulation of the problem studied is the development of the dispute and the regulation of raw meat imports within the framework of Indonesian law. This study analyzes relevant applicable legal rules, such as Law Number 7 of 1994 and other WTO regulations. The results of the study show that dispute resolution through the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) resulted in a decision that largely won Brazil, although Indonesia managed to maintain policies related to halal certification.
