摘要
在WTO争端解决中,当事方在证据披露中负有合作义务,这是善意原则在WTO争端解决中的体现。专家组通常不允许当事方以机密信息为由拒绝证据披露,而只是采取相应的保护措施。不过,专家组在符合条件时可能承认"内阁特免权"。当事方在无正当理由的情况下拒绝证据披露,专家组可以进行不利推定。
In WTO dispute settlement, the parties undertake obligation of cooperation to disclose evidence, which reflect good faith principle. The panel doesn't accept confidential information as excuse not to produce evidence, but adopts measures of protection. However, 'cabinet privilege' may be recognized if the requirement has been met. Panel may make adverse inference if the party refuse to disclose requested evidence without justification.
