To not side with one country or another during a dispute

Dispute settlement is the central pillar of the multilateral trading system, and the WTO unique contribution to the stability of the global economy. Without a  means  of  settling  disputes,  the  rules-based  system  would  be  less  effective because the rules could not be enforced. The WTO procedure underscores the rule of law, and it makes the trading system more secure and predictable. The system is based on clearly-defined rules, with timetables for completing a case. First rulings are  made  by  a  panel  and  endorsed  (or  rejected)  by  the  WTO’s  full  membership. Appeals based on points of law are possible. However, the point is not to pass judgement. The priority is to settle disputes, through consultations if possible. By January 2008, only about 136 of the 369 cases had reached the  full  panel  process.  Most  of  the  rest  have  either  been  notified  as  settled  “out  of court” or remain in a prolonged consultation phase — some since 1995.

jim crow law, in u.s. history, any of the laws in which racial was enforced, in the south between the finish of reconstruction in 1877 and the start of the social liberties development during the 1950s.

jim crow was the name of a minstrel routine( jump jim crow) performed starting in 1828 by its creator, thomas dartmouth ("daddy") rice, and by numerous imitators, including on-screen character joseph jefferson.

the term came to be a defamatory sobriquet for african americans and an assignment for their segregated life. the segregation rule was stretched out to parks, graveyards, theaters, and eateries with an end goal to keep any contact among blacks and whites as equivalents.

it was classified on neighborhood and state levels and most broadly with the "separate yet equivalent" choice of the u.s. preeminent court in plessy v. ferguson (1896).

an economic reason that the south needed a reconstruction plan is that plantations, factories, and other businesses were destroyed during the war.
