The Peace Clause. Article 13("due restraint") of the Agriculture Agreement protects countries using subsidies which comply with the agreement from being challenged under other WTO [World Trade Organization] agreements. Without this "peace clause, "countries would have greater freedom to take action against each others’ subsidies, under the Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Agreement and related provisions. The peace clause is due to expire at the end of 2003. Some countries want it extended so that they can enjoy some degree of "legal security, "ensuring that they will not be challenged so long as they comply with their commitments on export subsidies and domestic support under the Agriculture Agreement.  2, record 1, English, - peace%20clause

La clause de paix. L'article 13 («modération») de l'Accord sur l'agriculture exempte les pays qui accordent des subventions autorisées dans le cadre de l'Accord des actions fondées sur d'autres Accords de l'OMC [Organisation mondiale du commerce]. Sans cette «clause de paix», les pays auraient une plus grande latitude pour engager des actions contre les subventions des autres au titre des dispositions de l'Accord sur les subventions et les mesures compensatoires, parmi d'autres. La clause de paix devrait devenir caduque à la fin de 2003. Certains pays voudraient la proroger afin de disposer d'une certaine «sécurité juridique», qui leur donnerait l'assurance qu'aucune action ne serait entamée contre eux tant qu'ils respecteraient les engagements concernant les subventions à l'exportation et le soutien interne qu'ils ont pris dans le cadre de l'Accord sur l'agriculture.  2, record 1, French, - clause%20de%20paix

The Martens Clause is indisputably one of the contemporary legal myths of the international community. Being particularly ambiguous, it has been variously interpreted. The author dismisses the more radical interpretation whereby the clause upgrades to the rank of sources of international law the "laws of humanity" and the "dictates of public conscience". The other, less extreme interpretation, whereby the clause merely serves to reject a possible a contrario argument, is equally without merit. He suggests that the clause was essentially conceived of, at the 1899 Hague Peace Conference, as diplomatic gimmick intended to break a deadlock in the negotiations between smaller and Great Powers. The clause could nevertheless be given a twofold legal significance. First, it could operate at the interpretative level : incase of doubt international rules of humanitarian law should be construed in a manner consonant with standards of humanity and the demands of public conscience. Secondly, the clause, while operating within the existing system of international sources, could serve to loosen-in relation solely to the specific field of humanitarian law-the requirements prescribed for usus whilst at the same time raising opinio to a rank higher than normarly admitted.  2, record 2, English, - Martens%20clause
