WTO与外国法院判决的承认和执行——评《判决的国际承认:私法解决方案和公法解决方案之争》兼及WTO决策程序中的单边主义

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments and WTO—A Critical Comment on Professor Perez’s The International Recognition of Judgments:The Debate between Private and Public Law Solution and the Unilateralism in WTO Decision-making Process

过去十年,WTO一路坎坷,发展中国家和发达国家之间的分歧有增无减。在目前的状况下,不合时宜、不谨慎地提出新议题都只会加深双方的互不信任并对WTO的发展前景造成破坏性的影响。相互承认外国法院判决恰巧就是这样一个提议。试图将如此敏感的话题在由最广泛也最复杂的成员方构成的WTO体制内讨论,是非常不成熟的。在有关成员方单边利益驱动下,不平等总是充斥在貌似平等的WTO规则之下,这种单边主义在WTO决策程序中尤为明显。

During the last decade,WTO has walked through a bumpy road,with an enlarging gap between developed and developing countries.Any initiation of any new issue,if not rationally and carefully chosen,will deepen the distrust between the two sides and will be catastrophic to the future development of WTO.Mutual recognition of international judgments unfortunately falls into this category.It is far from mature,then and now,to take such a sensitive issue to WTO,which bears the most comprehensive membership and most complicated relationship among them.Driven by bilateral interests of some members,inequality can always be found under the cover of namely equal WTO rules,which is particularly evident in the decision-making process of WTO.
