Additionally, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is often criticized for considering environmental protection measures as trade barriers and not being justified under the law of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) e.g. in its famous Tuna - Dolphin cases. On the other hand, the preamble of the WTO Agreements acknowledges that the expansion of production and trade has to permit 'the optimal use of the world's resources in accordance with the objective of sustainable development, seeking both to protect and preserve the environment'. Therefore, it is considered that the objective of the WTO is to establish an equilibrium between free trade and environmental protection.

The main focus lies in the interpretation and development of Art. XX of GATT and its use to justify the states' national environmental regulations. The third section analyses the understanding, implementation and application of the principle of sustainable development within WTO law. An overview of the relationship between Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) and the WTO law will be provided and it will be discussed if the interpretation of the dispute settlement mechanism can promote sustainable development.
