Q&A Citing a World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute in MLA?

I am trying to cite in MLA (8e) WTO disputes. My paper references about 20 of these, so it is important to cite them efficiently. Here is an example source: https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/di...

I am trying to cite in MLA (8e) WTO disputes. My paper references about 20 of these, so it is important to cite them efficiently.

Here is an example source: [https://www.wto.org/english/tratop\_e/dispu\_e/cases\_e/ds489\_e.htm](https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/cases_e/ds489_e.htm)

Notice each case is numbered, this one is: DS489.

I could have (wto.org, 2015), but I will have many citations from the same year, in which case I must denote them with a, b, c, which seems cumbersome.

These are not federal reports either, so I have cited them as a website.

Is it possible to ignore the citation, and say "As seen in case DS489", since these are official reports, and then have a footnote saying the reports can be found in through their webpage?

Correctly using a formal citation style is important for this report.
