Abstract

WTO is an international organization that holds the main value orientation of free trade. To balance with other social values, WTO has formulated exception clauses. As environmental issues have increasingly become a topic of concern to the international society, the value of Environmental Exception Clauses (EEC) has become more prominent. However, the standardization and judicial practice of this clause limits its effectiveness. This article studies the defects and causes of those issues of the EEC by using the methods of case analysis, system analysis, and norm analysis. It holds that, clarifying the standard of use, improving the government information disclosure system and revising the WTO regulations can effectively enhance the role of Environmental Exception Clauses in practice.
