As a result, some practices appeared in international trade that violate the principles of legitimate international competition, and one of these practices is commercial dumping. The World Trade Organization (WTO) sought to combat commercial dumping in Article VI of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT). In addition, negotiations concluded the adoption of a multilateral agreement known as the Anti-Dumping Agreement (the implementation of Article VI of GATT), which was ratified by member states. Accordingly, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, since its accession to the WTO in 2005, has sought to combat commercial dumping and has shown a clear interest by enacting anti-dumping legislation, supporting local products, and protecting them from dumping. However, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an Islamic state, and it cannot adopt and implement systems and agreements that contradict Islamic Sharia, which is stipulated in the Basic Law of Governance. Therefore, this dissertation aims toto examine and evaluate the compatibility between the Saudi regime and Islamic law with the Anti-Dumping Agreement of the World Trade Organization, through 3 chapters. The first chapter contains the introduction in terms of the importance of the research topic and its objectives. After that, the second chapter discusses the WTO agreement and the concept of dumping, its types, and its elements. As for the third and final chapter, it is devoted to analyses the extent of compatibility between the Saudi regime and the Anti-Dumping Agreement.52encommercial dumpingThesis
