根据DSU第3条第2款的规定,并且结合WTO争端解决的相关实践,《维也纳条约法公约》第31条“解释之通则”成为了WTO争端解决中在对WTO法律文件进行解释时所应一体遵循的规则。由此,原本作为非WTO法律规则的“有关国际法规则”亦就得以成为在解释WTO法律文件时应予一并考虑的参考。而为了能够切实地执行上述条款的规定,应当首先明确“有关国际法规则”在WTO争端解决中的应用限于对WTO法律文件进行法律解释,而后再据此确定其具体的内涵和范围。
Combining with the provision of Article 3.2 of DSU, and the practice of WTO Dispute Settlement, Article 31 “General Rule of Interpretation” of VCLT has become the binding rule when interpreting WTO legal texts in the WTO dispute settlement. Therefore, the “relevant rules of international law” which are not WTO legal rules themselves, should be taken into account when interpreting WTO legal texts. To fully implement the provision of the article above, firstly, it should be made clear that, the “relevant rules of international law” can be only used to interpret WTO legal texts, and then the connotation and scope of such rules should be specified accordingly.
