Case  

The 2021/2022 Moot Problem concerned a dispute between the fictitious WTO Members Alderaan and Coruscant on measures concerning permanent magnet generators for windmills. The Moot Problem raised a series of WTO law-related questions, including the application of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures to cross-border situations, the legality of subsidies for green energy production, and the right of WTO Members to impose quantitative restrictions on exports to protect exhaustible natural resources and human, animal, plant life or health.
