摘要
在WTO长期的司法实践中,与法庭之友有关的法律问题主要涉及专家组和上诉机构能否接受未经请求的法庭之友主动提交的信息。对此,有不少学者认为法庭之友参与争端解决机制,能提升WTO的透明度和民主性,是正当程序的体现。但发展中国家认为上诉机构在若干案例中接受未经请求的法庭之友意见书,不符合WTO协议下的授权范围,是司法立法的体现。
The legal issue related to Amicus Curiae in judicial practice under WTO mainly concerns whether the panel and appellate body can accept the unsolicited Amicus Curiae Briefs. Some aeholars believe the participance of Amicus Curiae can enhance the transparency and democracy of WTO, which is the reflection of due process. However, developing countries all think appellate body go beyond the range of authorization, and make new rules judicially by accepting unsolicited Amicus Curiae Briefs in certain cases.
