    Reasonableness in WTo laW

    Graham Cook*

    Abstract. Reasonableness tests are pervasive in the law of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The term reasonable (including its variants unreasonable, reasonably, unreasonably, reasonableness, unreasonableness) appears more than 200 times in the legal texts that comprise the WTO Agreement, and more than 8,000 times in WTO jurisprudence. WTO jurisprudence relating to the notion of reasonableness can be usefully categorized according to the following distinctions. First, reasonableness can function as a legal test that WTO adjudicators are expressly mandated to apply by virtue of the WTO treaty provision at issue. Second, as reflected in the many other cases in which WTO adjudicators have assessed whether certain conduct was reasonable even in the absence of any express reference to the term in the WTO provision at issue, reasonableness also functions as an unwritten legal test that WTO adjudicators may apply to decide certain issues when the provisions of the WTO Agreement are silent or lacking in detail. Third, as reflected in the many cases in which WTO adjudicators have rejected a particular interpretation of a WTO provision on the grounds that it would lead to an unreasonable result, reasonableness functions as a general legal test under the customary rules of treaty interpretation that WTO adjudicators apply when interpreting provisions of the WTO Agreement.

    i. inTRoducTion

    the precise definition of terms and their application to facts is at the core of international adjudication. The meaning of words that international adjudicators work with can be elusive. Such is the case with the word reasonable, and so it is not surprising that some writers have sought to clarify its meaning and function in the context of public international law.1

    The word reasonable appears in many treaties and other international legal instruments. For example, Article 9.3 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantees that anyone arrested shall be entitled to a trial within a reasonable period of time; Article 41.1 of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules instructs that the fees of an arbitral tribunal shall be reasonable in amount; Article 57.4 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions requires that all reasonable precautions be taken to avoid losses of civilian life or damage to civilian objects; Article 98.1(b) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea requires that a ship master proceed with all possible speed to the rescue of persons in distress, insofar as such action may reasonably be expected of him.

    The notion of reasonable also appears in the judgments and advisory opinions of the International Court of Justice. For example, the International Court of Justice has stated that in the field of diplomatic protection as in all other fields of international law, it is necessary that the law be applied reasonably2; that it was appropriate to consider whether the reaction of a State in the context of what it regarded as self-defence was continued after the period in which any attack could reasonably be contemplated3; that as part of its analysis of whether the requisition of a factory was arbitrary, within the meaning of a bilateral investment treaty, it would consider with that conduct was unreasonable4; and that insofar as possible, the line of maritime delimitation should allow the coasts of the States concerned to produce their effects, in terms of maritime entitlements, in a reasonable and mutually balanced way5.

    The present article examines the concept of reasonableness in WTO law. Like most6 other fields of public international law, the notion of reasonable is used in WTO law. In fact, the term reasonable (including its variants unreasonable, reasonably, unreasonably, reasonableness, unreasonableness) appears more than 200 times in the legal texts that comprise the WTO Agreement, and the same term appears more

    Reasonableness in WTO LawGraham Cook

    than 8,000 times in over 300 WTO dispute settlement reports, awards, and decisions.7 Notwithstanding its pervasive nature in WTO law, there appear to be no book chapters or journal articles on the concept of reasonableness in the context of WTO law.8 The remainder of this article is divided into four main parts: (i) an exposition of the various references to the term reasonable in the legal texts comprising the WTO Agreement; (ii) an exposition of various issues in respect of which reasonableness functions as a legal test that WTO adjudicators are expressly mandated to apply by virtue of the wording of the provision at issue; (iii) an exposition of how reasonableness may function as an unwritten legal test that WTO adjudicators may apply to decide certain issues when the provisions of the WTO Agreement are silent or lacking in detail; and (iv) an exposition of how WTO adjudicators have applied the general principle that treaties should be interpreted so as to avoid unreasonable results.

    ii. RefeRences To The TeRm Reasonable in The WTo agReemenT

    There are more than 200 references to the term reasonable (including its variants unreasonable, reasonably, unreasonably, reasonableness, unreasonableness) in the agreements, understandings, and ministerial decisions that comprise the WTO Agreement:

    GATT 1994: Articles V:4 (reasonable charges and regulations), VI:1(b)(ii) (reasonable addition), VII:5 (reasonable degree of certainty), IX:4 (unreasonably increasing their cost), IX:5 (unreasonably delayed), X:3(a) (administer in a reasonable manner), XI:2 (could reasonably be expected), XII:2(a)(ii) (reasonable rate), XII:3(c)(ii) (prevent unreasonably), XIII:2(d) (not reasonably practicable), XV:2 (reasonable rate), XVIII:7(b) (every reasonable effort), XVIII:9(b) (reasonable rate), XVIII:10 (prevent unreasonably), XVIII:18(b)

    7 These figures are the result on a July 2013 full-text search of relevant materials, using s full-text search engine. This article refers to WTO dispute settlement decisions by their official short titles. All of these decisions are available online, at . The complete list of official short titles and corresponding full case title and citation is also available online, at

    8 Several book chapters and journal articles have focused on the application of particular reasonableness tests in the context of certain WTO law issues, for example the reasonable period of time under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU to comply with a dispute settlement ruling. See e.g. W. Zdouc, The Reasonable Period of Time for Compliance with the Rulings and Recommendations Adopted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body in Rufus Yerxa and Bruce Wilson (eds), Key Issues in WTO Dispute Settlement: The First Ten Years (Cambridge: CUP, 2005) 8897; MA Qian, Reasonable Period of Time in the WTO Dispute Settlement System (2012) 15(1) Journal of International Economic Law 257-285. In contrast, this article focuses more broadly on the pervasive nature of reasonableness tests in WTO law and jurisprudence, rather than any one particular reasonableness test.

    For reasons of practicality, this list of references to the term omits two categories of instruments that are both legally part of the WTO Agreement. The first category consists of Members schedules to the GATT, GATS, or other agreements comprising the WTO Agreement. The term reasonable is sometimes used therein.12 The second category consists of the accession protocols of Members that acceded to the WTO after 1994. Again, these instruments are integral parts of the WTO Agreement, and the term is sometimes used therein.13 The list of references above also omits references to reasonableness in various other texts that have been agreed to by WTO Members.14

    Reasonableness in WTO LawGraham Cook

    The following observations can be made about the references to the term reasonable in the WTO Agreements: (i) the word reasonable (and its variants) appears more than 200 times in the legal texts that comprise the WTO Agreement; (ii) these references appear throughout the WTO Agreement, in a wide range of provisions dealing with disparate subjects; (iii) rather than serving as an independent and self-standing concept, the term generally appears as an adjective or adverb, connected to another, immediately neighbouring term or phrase; and (iv) as with other international legal instruments, the term reasonable is frequently used in connection to time periods such references represent about one quarter of the references to reasonableness contained in the WTO Agreement.

    a. inTRoducTion

    The preceding section identified the references to the term reasonable in the WTO Agreement. Many of these references have been interpreted and applied by WTO adjudicators in the context of WTO dispute settlement. WTO adjudicators are required to objectively and independently interpret provisions of the WTO Agreement in accordance with customary rules of interpretation of public international law.15 This applies to any terms of the WTO Agreement, including general legal standards such as reasonable.16 This section of the article will provide an exposition of selected issues in respect of which WTO adjudicators are expressly mandated to apply a reasonableness test, by virtue of the wording of the provision at issue. The issues reviewed here include the following, as illustrative examples: (i) the obligation to administer laws in a reasonable manner under Article X:3(a) of the GATT; (ii) references to a reasonable period of time in Article 21.3(c) of the DSU, Article 6.8 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement, Article 5.7 of the SPS Agreement; (iii) obligations referring to reasonable terms and conditions in the GATS; and (iv) obligations to take reasonable measures to ensure that certain entities comply with WTO obligations, reflected in Article XXIV:12 of the GATT, and Article 3 of the TBT Agreement.
