Abstract

This chapter begins by discussing the potential negative effects of trade on sustainable development, and the changes in the rules of trade and investment regimes that could lead to these negative impacts. It also discusses the rise of impact assessment processes, which States, regions and international organizations have begun to commission, to model and analyse the potential environmental and social/human rights impacts of trade and investment liberalization. It introduces the new generation of regional and bilateral trade and investment treaties being negotiated, and the need to evaluate how States are addressing sustainability concerns that emerge from impact assessments of these treaties. It also provides a working definition of ‘sustainable development’ and uncovers the circumstances and provisions under which international economic law levers are more likely to foster sustainable development, as well as the most effective interpretive weight for them. Finally, it highlights the utility of insights on international economic law and sustainability.
国际贸易、投资和可持续发展
本章首先讨论贸易对可持续发展的潜在负面影响,以及可能导致这些负面影响的贸易和投资制度规则的变化。报告还讨论了影响评估进程的兴起,各国、各区域和国际组织已开始委托这些进程模拟和分析贸易和投资自由化对环境和社会/人权的潜在影响。报告介绍了正在谈判的新一代区域和双边贸易和投资条约,以及评价各国如何处理这些条约影响评估所产生的可持续性问题的必要性。它还提供了“可持续发展”的工作定义,并揭示了国际经济法杠杆更有可能促进可持续发展的情况和规定,以及对它们最有效的解释权重。最后,它强调了对国际经济法和可持续性的见解的效用。
