Russia's Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov has said the United States should use its authority to help restore the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement system, according to TASS.
Reshetnikov is leading the Russian delegation to the G20 trade ministers' meeting, scheduled to take place from September 30 to October 1 in Milwaukee, in the United States.
The WTO's dispute settlement mechanism, particularly its Appellate Body, has been effectively paralyzed for several years after Washington blocked the appointment of new judges, a stalemate that has persisted across different US administrations.
Reshetnikov's comments frame the US as holding particular responsibility for the impasse, given its role in blocking appointments, and call on Washington to use its influence within the organization to help unblock the system.
The G20 trade ministers' meeting in Milwaukee is expected to bring together officials from major economies to discuss a range of trade issues, with reform of the WTO's dispute settlement function likely to remain a contentious topic among members with differing positions.
