摘　　要：2014年8月7日WTO就"美国、欧盟、日本诉中国稀土、钨、钼相关产品出口管理措施案"正式公布了上诉机构报告,持续数年的稀土案以中国败诉落幕。相关措施如何在资源与环境保护方面获得WTO认可?稀土案的裁决过程充分体现了WTO对"合理性援引"GATT1994第20条的要求。对于中国而言,"合理性援引"GATT1994第20条是此后解决类似争端必须恪守的准则。同时,在WTO动态发展的框架下,我们并不能因为在某个具体案例中失利就减少全面理性审视并助推WTO机制公正及合理性的相关考量和努力。On 7 August 2014, the Appellate Body issued three Appellate Body Reports in one single document on China-measures related to the exportation of rare earths, tungsten, and molybdenum. These reports declare that the Rare Earth Case which lasted for years ends in failure. How does the related measures obtain recognition on resources and environment form the WTO？ The decision-making on this case shows that the WTO claims reasonable invoking on Article 20 of GATT1994. As for China, it should abide by reasonable invoking on Article 20 of GATT1994 to deal with similar disputes in future. At the same time, under the framework of the WTO＇s dynamic development, the failure in specific case should not make an mitigation on China＇s consideration and efforts to survey and propel an equitable and rational mechanism of the WTO.
