《WTO谅解》——对GATT解决争端机制的发展

WTO Memorandum of Understanding Develops GATT Mechanism for Settling Disputes

《WTO谅解》对GATT解决贸易争端机制的发展主要体现在 :一是确立了贸易争端解决机构 (以下简称DSB)对贸易争端的强制管辖权 ,主要表现为对其前身GATT“共识”(CON SENSUS)程序地巧妙颠倒 ;二是司法独立 ,在世贸组织内部实行分权制 ,建立一套相对独立的司法制度 ;三是对解决争端量化时限 。

WTO Memorandum of Understanding develops GATT mechanism for settling disputes, which reflects three aspects: first, establishment of the compulsory jurisdiction of settling organization for trade disputes that cleverly inverses the predecessor-the procedure of GATT consensus; second, judicial independence which means carrying out decentralization in the interior of WTO and setting up a relatively independent judicial system; third, implementing the quantized time limit for settling disputes by allowing cross retaliation.
