WTO争端解决机制中的举证责任研究

【摘要】 WTO争端解决机制缺乏对举证责任的明确规定,专家组和上诉机构在实践中大量运用自由裁量权,针对个案在争端当事双方间将举证责任酌情进行分配,表现出极大的不可预见性和不稳定性,同时也给争端当事方很大的争辩余地。于是,举证责任便成为争论的焦点。笔者拟从各大法系关于"举证责任"的不同定义出发,探讨WTO争端解决机制中的举证责任问题,希望能对我国在处理WTO争端时有所帮助。更多还原

【Abstract】 the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism lack of clear regulations in the onus of proof.Panel and the Appellate Body use discretion quite often in practices,distributing onus of proof to both parties in accordance with the case,which not only show great unpredictability and instability,but also leave a great leeway for the parties to dispute to argue about.Therefore the onus of proof becomes the focal point of the argument.The authors embark from different definitions of "onus of proof" in different law systems,analyzing and discussing the onus of proof in the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism,wishing to give some help when our country handles the WTO disputes.更多还原
