【摘要】 在WTO成立的十年时间中,争端解决机制在解决国际贸易争端领域发挥了巨大的作用,尤其是其中的专家组程序作为争端解决的第一层权利机构,赢得了越来越多的信赖与尊重。但是专家组程序并不是完美无缺的,在实际运转中也暴露出来一些问题和缺陷。本文探讨了专家组程序中的几个热点问题,如专家组组成成员的选择问题,探讨了常设专家组设想的可能性,并提出一种新的专家组指示性名单选择标准;专家组的法律特征问题,分析了专家组程序的准司法性特征,并探讨了今后专家组司法化问题的发展方向和尺度;专家组程序的“第三方”制度,肯定了第三方在专家组程序中的权利扩大化问题,并探讨了权利扩大的范围和限制;审理过程中的举证责任分配问题,主要分析了“初步事实”理论在举证责任分配过程中的应用,并探讨了未来的发展方向;专家组接受“法庭之友”意见报告的可行性问题,主要分析了非政府组织是否可以以法庭之友的身份提交证据,在提交过程中的程序和范围;最后建议设置一套保护商业机密信息的程序,以鼓励各成员方全面,充分的提供证据。本文运用了比较法学和法律经济学的一些分析方法,并运用了大量争端解决过程中出现的典型案例,以期清晰、准确、生动的说明问题。更多还原
