several articles of SPS agreement. The India – Agricultural Products case is the first challenge against a sanitary and phytosanitary measure imposed by a developing country. The challenge came from the United States, against certain import prohibitions imposed by India on countries reporting Avian Influenza. India – Agricultural Products has shed new jurisprudence on several key aspects of the SPS Agreement. The most important contribution is on the relationship between various Articles of the SPS agreement, which specify the obligations on regionalization and compartmentalization. India has played a major part in the Dispute Settlement Mechanism of the World Trade Organization. India, being a developing country, has filed many cases with the Dispute Settlement Body and has asked for consultations with the member nations wherever there has been a violation of the agreement of the WTO or any other trade related agreements. India’s interest in protecting the interests of the developing nations can be seen from its leadership of coalitions of developing nations which is a prime example of India’s increasingly expansionist view of how best to operate at the WTO.
