世界贸易体制中的发展权

发展权在现代世界逐渐受到了重视,并被国际法所接受。世界贸易体制是实现发展权的关键领域。从世界贸易体制的主要代表GATT/WTO来看,从1947年关税与贸易总协定到2005年年底的香港部长会议,发展问题一直不同程度的得以体现。但是贸易与投资的自由化、知识产权的高标准保护以及对于发展中国家优惠的不落实都是发展权实现的障碍。这有待于通过世界贸易规范的民主化实现更为公正合理的国际经济秩序。

Right to Development in World Trade System

The right to development is more and more emphasized in modern world and become accepted by international law. The world trade system is a key field in which right to development to be realized. From the main body of world trade system, the GATT/WTO, the right to development is expressed from GATT1947 till Hong Kong Ministerial Conference at the end of 2005. However, problems still exist. The liberalization of trade and investment, the high level of intellectual property protection and the inactiveness of the preference to developing countries means the right to development is not easy to realize. Such problems should be solved in a fair and reasonable international economic order through a democratic reform in world trade rules in the epoch of globalization.
