发展中国家参与WTO诉讼活动诉前费用过高的原因及对策分析——以鼓励发展中国家积极参与WTO诉讼为视角

An Analysis on the Causes and Countermeasures of the Excessive Pre-litigation Costs of WTO Litigations by Developing Countries —— From the Perspective of Encouraging Developing Countries’ Participation

WTO法律制度的法律化、西方法学的晦涩难懂及复杂的程序、相关优惠待遇规定形同虚设及缺乏相应的法律机制和诉讼经验,导致发展中国家参与WTO争端解决活动的诉前费用大幅度提高,严重制约着发展中国家积极参与WTO争端解决活动,难以切实维护自己的合法权益。发达国家在多年的司法实践中,积累了不少充分利用社会资源,有效降低政府的诉前费用负担的经验,值得发展中国家借鉴:发展中国家应建立相应的法律机制,提高自己的能力,充分利用一切资源,切实降低诉前费用。

The legalization, obscure rules and complex procedures of the west jurisprudence, ambiguous regulations of the different and preferential treatment and the lack of lawsuit experiences are the main causes of the high costs of the pre-litigation, and thus restrict developing countries’ participation for the protection of their interests. Developed countries have accumulated rich experiences in their long-time judicial practices, and developing countries should learn from them by establishing necessary legal mechanisms, building their ability to make full use of all resources, and reducing their pre-litigation costs practically.
