Abstract

Japan has argued that its recently introduced export control measures toward the Republic of Korea (ROK) are consistent with relevant international guidelines. The ROK has rejected this view and claims that Japan’s measures are inconsistent with World Trade Organization (WTO) law. If a WTO Panel is established to adjudicate this matter, the national security exception clause, specifically Article XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), is likely to be invoked. Russia–Measures concerning Traffic in Transit is one of the few cases in which a WTO Panel has rendered a decision on this article. In general, the doctrine of precedents does not strictly apply; however, it hints that the Panel may require objective arguments to be provided despite the clause’s “self-judging” nature. On its face, Japan appears to have a stronger case, but the Panel would nonetheless be required to make a difficult decision.
从国际法角度看日本对韩国出口管制措施
日本辩称,其最近对大韩民国(韩国)采取的出口管制措施符合有关的国际准则。韩国驳斥了这一观点,并声称日本的措施不符合世界贸易组织(WTO)的法律。如果成立一个世贸组织专家组来裁决此事,国家安全例外条款,特别是1994年关税与贸易总协定(GATT 1994)第21条,可能会被援引。俄罗斯关于过境运输的措施案是世贸组织专家组就本条作出裁决的少数案件之一。一般来说,先例原则并不严格适用;然而,它暗示专家组可能要求提供客观论据,尽管该条款具有“自我判断”的性质。从表面上看,日本似乎有更强的理由,但尽管如此,专家组还是需要做出一个艰难的决定。
