Kozheurov, Y.S. International responsibility for the violations of the WTO law: correlation with the common international law

Abstract: The article contains analysis of the issues of correlation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) law with the common International law within the framework of international responsibility law. The author supports a point of view that norms of international common law on responsibility of the states, as codified by the International Law Commission of the UN in the Articles on State Responsibility for Internationally Wrongful Acts of 2001, are applicable to the relationships within the WTO framework. The WTO law, being an autonomous legal regime within the general framework of international law, contains a number of special rules and procedures regulating contents and implementation of responsibility for violation of the obligations in the WTO. However, in all cases when the WTO law provides otherwise, the general principles of international law should apply. Moreover, these principles are used to interpret and define the contents of special rules and procedures in the WTO law, such as counter-measures.


Keywords:

common international law, international responsibility, the WTO law, fragmenting international law, counter-measures, restitution, compensation, proportionality, autonomous regimes, lex specialis.
