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。
The WTO dispute settlement mechanism lacks explicit provisions on the burden of proof. The panel and the appellate body make extensive use of discretion in practice and allocate the discretionary burden of proof on the cases between parties involved in the dispute, showing great unpredictability and Instability, but also to the parties to the dispute a lot of room for debate. Thus, the burden of proof has become the focus of controversy. The author intends to discuss the question of the burden of proof in the dispute settlement mechanism of WTO from the different definitions of “burden of proof ” in major legal systems, hoping to help our country in dealing with WTO disputes.
