  • Securing compliance through the WTO dispute settlement system: Implementation of DSB recommendations

    Yuka Fukunaga

    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW   9 ( 2 ) 383 - 426  2006.06  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    The World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system has been making substantial contributions to improved compliance with the WTO Agreements. Of particular note are the elaborate multistage mechanisms installed in the system that facilitate and ensure the implementation of the DSB recommendations. However, these multistage mechanisms are not devoid of problems and shortcomings. Several improvements are proposed by Members and scholars but a number of disagreements exist, reflecting varied understanding of the nature of the dispute settlement system. Against this background, this article first analyses the nature of the dispute settlement system. It argues that the primary purpose of the dispute settlement system is not to secure compliance in abstracto but to settle a dispute and remedy injury, and its compliance function is exerted only in the course of dispute settlement. Thereafter, in the light of the nature of the dispute settlement system, this article presents a comprehensive analysis of the manner in which the multistage mechanisms currently function and how they should function.

    　View Summary

    The WTO has been playing an important role in international economic relations.It has brought the security and predictability through its comprehensive agreements and well-refined dispute settlement system.<BR>While the WTO undoubtedly has succeeded in establishing the multilateral trading system, the Third Ministerial Conference in Seattle in 1999 revealed that the WTO now confronts several difficult challenges.The future of the WTO depends on how the WTO, particularly through the New Round launched in 2002, deals with these difficulties.<BR>This paper addresses four among these new issues, including (i) trade and development, including implementation issues such as capacity building of developing countries, (ii) e-commerce, (iii) trade and environment, (iv) trade remedy laws, particularly antidumping.All of the four are targeted in the New Round, though emphasis to be placed varies from issue to issue.We analyze the background and argumentations of each issue, and lay out expected outcomes of the New Round regarding these issues.

    　View Summary

    This research analyzed potential and actual international economic disputes involving the export of infrastructure. In response to the growing demand for infrastructure around the world, businesses from developed countries, including Japan, has been actively involved in the export of infrastructure to other countries, particularly emerging economies. In parallel, the number of international economic disputes involving the export of infrastructure is growing. This research analyzed how these international economic disputes are reviewed by international judicial bodies, specifically, world trade organization (WTO) dispute settlement system and investment arbitration, and pointed out problems with the existing international economic agreements as well as international economic dispute settlement. At the same time, it made a theoretical analysis of the impact of the international economic dispute settlement on the autonomy of domestic law and policy

    　View Summary

    This research project aimed at elucidating the possibility of enhancing transparency in international trade and investment dispute settlement through an international joint research of scholars of international economic law and NGO leaders by (i) analyzing the theoretical issues surrounding transparency in these dispute settlement procedures, and (ii) examining various policy proposals for enhancing transparency in these disputes. In 2008 and 2009, the research team held two panels in academic gatherings (Inaugural Conference of the Society of International Economic Law (July 2008, Geneva University) and the Asian Society of International Law 2nd Conference (August 2009, University of Tokyo)), and each member of the team made presentations on his/her research topic.In 2010, each member engaged him-/herself in writing final paper on his/her research topic, after discussing each other's presentations. At the time of this report, all members except Justice Feliciano have submitted his/her papers. Upon receiving Justice Feliciano's paper, the project leader will co-author an introduction with Mr.Daniel Magraw, and will compile all the papers in an edited book titled Transparency in International Trade and Investment Dispute Settlement, to be published from Cambridge University Press (CUP). The project leader has already contacted with the CUP, and has received a positive response toward publication from the latter.The details of the research result will be contained in the above book. Following are the outline of the research result :(1) Transparency in WTO dispute settlement and investment arbitration may be evaluated in light of (i) whether the dispute procedure is open to the public, and (ii) whether and to what extent the relevant documents (disputing parties' submissions and final decisions of the adjudicating bodies (reports of the Panel and the Appellate Body and arbitral awards) are publicly available.(2) These dispute procedures are less transparent than domestic court procedures and international adjudication (e.g., International Court of Justice) bur are more transparent than international commercial arbitration. This may be explained by (i) the character of the disputing parties (WTO member governments and host states and foreign investors), (ii) the characteristics of the subject matter of the disputes (both deal with the legality of domestic regulation but they indirectly touch on the interests of private firms), and (iii) both allows for the possibility of negotiating deals between the parties outside of the procedure.(3) On the other hand, in both procedures, the legality of domestic public policy are frequently at issue, which raises the concern of general public of the disputing states and thus an increasing demand for more transparency.(4) It is, therefore, necessary to strike a delicate balance between the specific characteristics of these dispute settlement process (see (2) above) and the justifiable demand for more transparency by the general public (see (3) above), and we hereby suggest that each dispute settlement process enhance transparency, taking into consideration (i) the characteristics of the issues and (ii) the characteristics of the disputing parties, and (iii) the need to protect business confidentiality of the private parties involved in the dispute. One member, however, asserts that there is no need to enhance more transparency in WTO dispute settlement process, because some dispute cases might be better solved through domestic court procedure of importing countries, where more transparency is secured

    The research focused on factors and systems that induce compliance with the WTO Agreement. In particular, it revealed that the WTO Dispute Settlement System has made a substantial contribution in securing compliance with the WTO Agreement. In addition, it highlighted the role of domestic legal process in achieving the compliance by analyzing the domestic implementation of DSB (Dispute Settlement Body) recommendations as well as the application of the WTO Agreement

    　View Summary

    Based on the on-site survey trips and documentary analyses conducted during the previous two years (Aprl.2003 through Mar.2005), we conducted a series of in-depth comparative studies of anti-dumping laws, anti-dumping investigating authorities (both dumping investigating authorities and injury investigating authorities), anti-dumping investigation procedure (from initiation of investigation through imposition of anti-dumping duties) and sunset review procedure, conditions (both procedural and substantive) for applying anti-dumping duties, anti-dumping practices for the first decade of the WTO (1995 to 2004), and their compatibility with the rules of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement, of the following target countries/territories ; China, Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, India, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. Part of our research results were published in a series of articles in Trade and Tariffs (Boeki to Kanzei), monthly journal of international trade law. In 2005, articles on anti-dumping laws and practices of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil were published, following those of Thailand, China and South Africa in 2004., to be followed by those of Korea, Chinese Taipei and India in 2006. In addition, starting late 2005, we have been preparing for a book project, titled "Anti-Dumping of the New Users," to be published from Cameron May (London) in 2007. So far, chapters on China, Korea, Thailand, South Africa, Mexico and Brazil were written, proofread and style-checked., to be followed by the remaining three country chapters and introduction

  • 米国アンチダンピング法の運用の研究

    　View Summary

    1.EUにおけるアンチダンピング調査の研究米国のアンチダンピング法運用の比較対象として、EUのアンチダンピング法運用についての調査を行った。とくに、ゼロイングと呼ばれるダンピング・マージンの計算方法について、米国におけるゼロイングとの異同を調査・研究した。また、ブリュッセルにてEUのアンチダンピング調査担当者やアンチダンピング調査実務に携わる弁護士に対する聞き取り調査を行う機会を得、その結果をアンチダンピング研究会にて報告した。2.アンチダンピング紛争の研究本年度は、WTOにおけるアンチダンピング紛争にも注目した。WTO紛争処理制度は、米国をはじめとする各国のアンチダンピング法運用のWTO協定整合性を確保する制度として高く評価されている。とくに、パネルや上級委員会によってアンチダンピング法あるいは措置のWTO協定違反が認定された場合、各国が違反措置を是正するためどのような措置を採る義務を負うかという問題に着目して研究を行った。この研究成果の一部は判例評釈の形で公表した。3.義務的レッサー・デューティー・ルールアンチダンピング法の濫用を規制するルールの中に、義務的レッサー・デューティー・ルール(ダンピング輸入によって生じた損害の救済に必要な限度でのみアンチダンピング税を賦課するよう義務付けるルール)というものがある。平成14年度において執筆を開始していた英字論文を、雑誌レビューアーのコメントを踏まえた修正作業を行い完成させた。近々公表される予定である。4.海外における研究活動ニューヨーク大学ロースクールで、2週間あまりの調査を行った。レッサー・デューティー・ルールについての研究のほか、米国アンチダンピング法に関する資料を収集した

    2014  

    　View Summary

    本課題においては、国際裁判手続の中でも国際経済紛争処理制度（世界貿易機関（ＷＴＯ）紛争処理制度及び投資仲裁制度）に焦点を絞り、国際経済紛争処理制度において、国内法の国際経済協定適合性がどのように審査される（べき）かについて研究を行った。本研究は、国際経済協定の遵守確保の要請と国家の規制権限尊重の要請とがいかにバランスされる（べき）かを論じるとともに、この問題が国際法と国内法の関係（特に国際法秩序における国内法の位置づけ）についての示唆を孕んでいることを指摘した。

  • 国際投資仲裁における最恵国待遇条項

    2013  

    　View Summary

    　二国間投資協定（ＢＩＴ）の最恵国待遇条項は、ＢＩＴ（基本条約）の一方の締約国が、他方の締約国の投資家や投資財産に対し、第三国とのＢＩＴ（第三国条約）に基づき第三国の投資家や投資財産に与える待遇よりも不利でない待遇を与えることを求める。換言すれば、基本条約の他方の締約国の投資家は、基本条約の最恵国待遇条項を介し、第三国条約によって与えられている第三国の投資家や投資財産に対する有利な待遇を、自らやその投資財産に適用するよう求めることができる。　近年、基本条約の最恵国待遇条項が第三国条約を根拠として基本条約上の保護を拡大し得る範囲について投資仲裁の中で相矛盾する決定が多数発出され、注目を集めている。すなわち、最恵国待遇条項を広く解し、第三国条約の実体上及び手続上の保護を基本条約の他方の締約国の投資家や投資財産にも与えるべきと結論する仲裁決定がある一方で、最恵国待遇条項を狭く解し、特に第三国条約の手続上の保護を基本条約の他方の締約国の投資家や投資財産に与える範囲を限定しようとする仲裁決定もある。最恵国待遇条項の解釈をめぐる尖鋭な対立は、投資仲裁の正統性を危うくすると危惧されることもある。　本研究は、物品貿易、サービス貿易、知的財産権、政府調達について、ＢＩＴ以外の経済協定、とりわけ世界貿易機関（ＷＴＯ）協定や地域貿易協定（ＲＴＡ）に定められる最恵国待遇条項を分析し、それとの比較でＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項の特異性を明らかにした。　すなわち第一に、物品貿易や知的財産権に関する最恵国待遇条項が、多角的貿易体制を安定させる無差別待遇義務として機能している一方で、ＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項は、その保護の内実が第三国条約との関係で決定されるという意味で、むしろ経済関係を不安定にしている。第二に、物品貿易やサービス貿易については、最恵国待遇条項によって生じ得る不均衡を矯正するための例外や免除が認められているが、ＢＩＴについてはそのような最恵国待遇条項の例外や免除が定められていない場合も少なくない。第三に、サービス貿易や政府調達に関する最恵国待遇条項は、第三国条約上のより有利な待遇が基本条約の締約国にも適用されるよう交渉を行うことを求めるにとどまるが、ＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項は、ＢＩＴの一方の締約国の投資家が、仲裁において最恵国待遇条項に基づく利益を自らの法的権利として主張することを可能にしている。　本論文は、こうしたＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項の特異性が、ＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項をどのように解釈すべきかについての議論を必然的に惹起し、ＢＩＴの最恵国待遇条項の解釈の対立を生んでいると指摘した。　本研究の成果の一部は、２月及び３月（２回）に行われた会議において、発表した。　また、本研究の成果は、３月に脱稿した論文（２０１４年刊行予定の書籍に収録）においてまとめた。

    　ＷＴＯ紛争処理制度は、ＷＴＯ加盟国間の貿易紛争を解決し、ＷＴＯ協定の履行確保を図るための制度である。この制度の下、他の加盟国（被申立国）の措置がＷＴＯ協定に違反しているとの申立を加盟国（申立国）が提起すると、パネルや上級委員会と呼ばれる準司法機関はＷＴＯ法に基づき申立の対象となった措置の違法性を審査する。さらに、措置の違法性を認定した場合には、被申立国に対して措置を修正あるいは撤廃してＷＴＯ協定に適合させるよう勧告する（ＤＳＢ勧告と呼ばれる）。近年、被申立国たる加盟国がこのＤＳＢ勧告を実施しない事例が散見される。本研究は、ＤＳＢ勧告の履行を確保するためにＷＴＯ紛争処理制度をどのように改善すべきかを明らかにすることを目的とした。　本研究の成果の一つは、ＤＳＢ勧告の履行確保に関する綿密な実証分析を行い、それを踏まえて制度改善の提案を行なった点である。ＷＴＯには、ＤＳＢ勧告の履行確保を図る手段として、①パネルや上級委員会によるＤＳＢ勧告実施方法の提案、②ＤＳＢ勧告実施期間に関する仲裁手続、③ＤＳＢによるＤＳＢ勧告実施状況の監視、④ＤＳＢ勧告実施措置の合法性についてのパネル及び上級委員会審査、⑤ＤＳＢ勧告不実施の場合の代償・対抗措置といったものが準備されている。これまでこうした手段を包括的に扱った研究はなかったが、本研究はこれら各手段の相互関係にも注意を払いながら包括的な実証分析を行い、かつ改善のための提言を行なった。　本研究のもう一つの成果は、単にＷＴＯの実証研究を行うのみならず、国際法学における履行確保に関する過去の研究との関係で、ＷＴＯにおける履行確保問題についての理論的検討を行った点にある。特に、環境や人権などの分野において導入されている新たな履行確保の方法と対比させながら、ＷＴＯ紛争処理制度を通じた履行確保のあり方とその意義について検討した。
