The end of institutions as we know them?

Well, not only has the WTO dispute settlement panel heard a case in public, with NGOs in attendance (long thought to be possible, just as there seemed to be a role for third party amicus briefs - but nice to see it) but the looming UN discussions could lead to significant changes there. Although I can't quite see it happening, interesting to note proposed changes, and hopefully teeth, for the Human Rights Commission. While it might take them a while to reach IP issues, would be good to know they were there....
