Professor Davey was cited "for his fundamental work in the development and evolution of the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement system, thanks to which numerous trade conflicts were peaceably resolved; for his outstanding academic contributions to the law of GATT and the new WTO in the search for balanced and fair rules for international trade; and for his longstanding efforts to promote knowledge of European law in the United States so as to advance and contribute to the trans-Atlantic dialogue."
