摘要
有关贸易与环境争端在GATT法律体系内很难找到具体适用的规则,因此GATT曾被环保主义者称作没有规则的天堂。WTO成立后,为解决贸易与环境争端,出现了对WTO协定作普通法式解释的现象。本文认为这种解释方法符合客观要求,我国政府应顺应国际环保形势发展的总体需要,支持用普通法的方式解释WTO贸易与环境的相关法律规定。
Hardly any special rules on trade-environmental disputes could be found under GATT legal system. So, environmentalists call the GATT as environmental haven. After the establishment of the WTO, WTO agreements are interpreted in the common law style in order to solve trade - environmental disputes. This article recon that this method of interpretation meets the requirements of objective conditions, and the government of China should recognize the need of protecting the environment and support the way of interpreting WTO legal rules in the common law style.
