description En la actualidad, la política internacional tiende hacia la unificación económica y cultural (globalización), en la cual la

totalidad de las naciones se encuentran vinculadas por interacciones comerciales. Para que los compromisos

adquiridos en materia de protección ambiental sean respetados, el derecho ambiental debe dejar de ser considerado

comerciales. En el presente ensayo se argumenta que el comercio internacional y el derecho ambiental han

coevolucionado en las últimas tres décadas, hasta llegar a un balance en el concepto de desarrollo sostenible.Este

artículo explora esta coevolución, mientras propone que la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) puede jugar un

importante rol en el cumplimiento de los objetivos internacionales de protección ambiental si sus disposiciones

?verdes? y su sistema de resolución de conflictos son utilizados para promoverlos, tal como está sucediendo. Para

ilustrar este punto, se presenta un breve resumen de los tratados comerciales y ambientales suscritos desde los años

setenta, seguido de una explicación de las disposiciones legales de la OMC que pueden ser consideradas como

?verdes?, con el fin de hallar puntos de convergencia que puedan ser utilizados por los países miembros no solo para

justificar la adopción de normativas domésticas de protección ambiental, sino también para instar a los otros

signatarios en el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones en esta área.

description International politics are moving towards an economical and cultural unification (globalisation), in which all nations are

related by trade interactions. If environmental protection commitments are to be honoured, environmental law has to

cease to be considered a separate discipline and find synergies that allow it to become an important stakeholder in

trade relations. In this paper it is argued that international commerce and environmental law have coevolved in the last

three decades to reach a balance embodied in the concept of sustainable development.The essay explores this

coevolution, and proposes that the World Trade Organization (WTO) can play an important role in environmental

protection goals if its ?green provisions? and dispute resolution mechanism are to be used to promote them, as is

already happening. In order to illustrate this point, a brief overview of commercial and environmental treaties signed

since the seventies is presented, followed by an explanation of the WTO?s treaty suite provisions that can be

considered as ?green?, in the hopes of finding convergence points that can be used by the member parties in order

not only to justify the passing of environmental protection domestic legislations, but also to compel other countries to

comply with their obligations in this area.
