It expounds on the background of the suspension of the Appellate Body, the US's claims on the Appellate Body, and the necessity to function the Appellate Body. Finally, several measures to reform the Appellate Body, such as establishing the compliance committee and the vote selection system, monetary compensation, and recovering credibility, are put forward in this paper.
