چکیده

علی‌رغم موفقیت چشمگیر نظام حل و فصل اختلافات سازمان تجارت جهانی، ضعف­ها و کاستی­هایی در آن وجود دارد که اصلاح آن را ضروری می­نماید. در میان پیشنهادهای متعددی که برای اصلاح این ساختار ارائه شده است، پیش­بینی ضمانت اجراهای مالی و پولی همواره یکی از دغدغه­های اصلی اعضای این سازمان بوده است. اگرچه این ضمانت اجرا در مادة 1-21 تفاهم­نامه راجع به قواعد و رویه­های حاکم بر حل و فصل اختلاف به نوعی دیده شده است اما چون ماهیت ارادی و داطلبانه دارد، نتوانسته آن‌گونه که باید موجب پایبندی هر چه بیشتر اعضای خاطی به رعایت قواعد و مقررات گردد. در این مقاله تلاش شده است تا ضمن طرح مهم‌ترین مبانی پیش­بینی این ضمانت اجرا، انتقادات وارد بر آن تبیین شده و نحوة طراحی آن تجزیه و تحلیل گردد.

چکیده [English]

Despite the great success of WTO dispute settlement, it includes several weaknesses and shortcomings which required to be amended. Among various proposals, monetary or financial compensation has been one of the main concerns of the members of this organization. Although financial remedies have been ruled out under Article 22.1 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU), but because of its voluntary and non mandatory nature, it has not been able to lead offending members to greater adherence to the rules and regulations. This paper attempts to outline the most important predictive basis for the sanction, the critique is explained and its design is analyzed
