WTO规则的立法解释研究

Research on Legislative Interpretation of WTO Rules

WTO条约解释体制包括立法解释和司法解释两个部分。立法解释有着独特的制度设计。立法解释的应然地位与实然地位迥异。实践中,立法解释往往形同虚设,主要是由于争端解决机制的冲击、立法解释本身缺乏有效的启动机制和WTO政治决策进程低效。

Interpretation of WTO treaties is composed of legislative interpretation and judicial interpretation. There is special system design of the legislative interpretation. The practical status of the legislative interpretation is quite different from its ＂Ought to＂ status. In practice, the legislative interpretation is in name only. This can be attributed to the impact of DSB, the deficiency of initiating mechanism and the inefficiency of political decision making process of WTO.
