description International politics are moving towards an economical and cultural unification (globalisation), in which all nations are related by trade interactions. If environmental protection commitments are to be honoured, environmental law has to cease to be considered a separate discipline and find synergies that allow it to become an important stakeholder in trade relations. In this paper it is argued that international commerce and environmental law have coevolved in the last three decades to reach a balance embodied in the concept of sustainable development.The essay explores this coevolution, and proposes that the World Trade Organization (WTO) can play an important role in environmental protection goals if its “green provisions” and dispute resolution mechanism are to be used to promote them, as is already happening. In order to illustrate this point, a brief overview of commercial and environmental treaties signed since the seventies is presented, followed by an explanation of the WTO’s treaty suite provisions that can be considered as “green”, in the hopes of finding convergence points that can be used by the member parties in order not only to justify the passing of environmental protection domestic legislations, but also to compel other countries to comply with their obligations in this area.

If environmental protection commitments are to be honoured, environmental law has to cease to be considered a separate discipline and find synergies that allow it to become an important stakeholder in trade relations. In this paper it is argued that international commerce and environmental law have coevolved in the last three decades to reach a balance embodied in the concept of sustainable development.The essay explores this coevolution, and proposes that the World Trade Organization (WTO) can play an important role in environmental protection goals if its “green provisions” and dispute resolution mechanism are to be used to promote them, as is already happening.

Para que los compromisos adquiridos en materia de protección ambiental sean respetados, el derecho ambiental debe dejar de ser considerado como una disciplina separada y buscar sinergias que le permitan convertirse en un actor importante en las relaciones comerciales. En el presente ensayo se argumenta que el comercio internacional y el derecho ambiental han coevolucionado en las últimas tres décadas, hasta llegar a un balance en el concepto de desarrollo sostenible.Este artículo explora esta coevolución, mientras propone que la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) puede jugar un importante rol en el cumplimiento de los objetivos internacionales de protección ambiental si sus disposiciones “verdes” y su sistema de resolución de conflictos son utilizados para promoverlos, tal como está sucediendo. Para ilustrar este punto, se presenta un breve resumen de los tratados comerciales y ambientales suscritos desde los años setenta, seguido de una explicación de las disposiciones legales de la OMC que pueden ser consideradas como “verdes”, con el fin de hallar puntos de convergencia que puedan ser utilizados por los países miembros no solo para justificar la adopción de normativas domésticas de protección ambiental, sino también para instar a los otros signatarios en el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones en esta área.La tendance actuelle de la politique internationale est à l’unification économique et culturelle (mondialisation, “globalisation”), où la totalité des nations se trouvent liées par des interactions commerciales. Pour que les engagements pris en matière de protection de l’environnement soient respectés, le droit de l’environnement doit cesser d’être considéré comme une discipline séparée et doit rechercher des synergies qui lui permettent de devenir un acteur important dans les relations commerciales. Dans cet article on défend l’idée que le commerce international et le droit de l’environnement ont coévolué dans les trois dernières décennies, jusqu’à atteindre un équilibre dans le concept de développement durable.L’article explore cette coévolution. Il montre que l’Organisation mondiale du Commerce peut jouer un rôle important dans l’accomplissement des objectifs internationaux de protection de l’environnement si ses dispositions “vertes” et son système de règlement des différends sont utilisés pour promouvoir ces objectifs, comme cela se passe dernièrement. Pour illustrer ce point on présente un bref résumé des conventions commerciales et environnementales signées depuis les années soixante, puis une explication des dispositions légales de l’OMC pouvant être considérées comme “vertes”, dans le but de trouver les points de convergence qui pourraient être utilisés par les pays membres pour justifier l’adoption de normes nationales de protection de l’environnement, mais aussi pour encourager les autres signataires à accomplir leurs engagements en la matière.application/pdf2145-44932027-1131https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/15737spaUniversidad del Rosariohttps://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/acdi/article/view/1427https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/acdi/article/view/1427/1310Derechos de autor 2014 Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional - ACDIAbierto (Texto Completo)http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2ACDI - Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional; Vol. 3 (2010): ACDI; 161-193ACDI - Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional; Vol. 3 (2010): ACDI; 161-193Annuaire Colombien de Droit International - ACDI; Vol. 3 (2010): ACDI; 161-193instname:Universidad del Rosarioreponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocURWorld Trade Organization (WTO)dispute resolution mechanismsinternational environmental lawGATTsustainable developmentOrganización Mundial del Comercio (OMC)mecanismos de resolución de conflictosderecho ambiental internacionalGATTdesarrollo sostenibleOrganisation mondiale du Commerce (OMC)mécanismes de règlement des différendsdroit international de l’environnementGATTdéveloppement durable.Dispute resolution and “environmental” provisions in the WTO: promising developments for environmental mattersDispute resolution and “environmental” provisions in the WTO: promising developments for environmental mattersDispute resolution and “environmental” provisions in the WTO: promising developments for environmental mattersarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Rodríguez Uribe, Natalia10336/15737oai:repository.urosario.edu.co:10336/157372024-11-01 07:08:42.031https://repository.urosario.edu.coRepositorio institucional EdocURedocur@urosario.edu.co
