Abstract
[Resumen] En los últimos años, el principio de precaución se ha perfilado como uno de los
principios estrella también en el ámbito de la salud y seguridad alimentaria. En este tra-
bajo, quisiéramos brevemente presentar y analizar cuál es el alcance de este principio
en el marco de la Organización Mundial del Comercio. Y, para ello, acudiremos a aque-
llos instrumentos jurídicos procedentes de esta Organización, con mayor trascendencia
para la protección de la salud humana, a los que estudiaremos desde el prisma de la
jurisprudencia desarrollada por el Órgano de Solución de Diferencias. Y, por último,
mencionaremos la problemática de la naturaleza jurídica del principio de precaución en
el Derecho internacional.
[Abstract] In the last years, the precautionary principle has turned out to be a key principle in the area of health and food safety, too. In this paper, we would like to briefly present and analyse the range of this principle in the framework of the World Trade Organization. In this sense, we will go to those juridical instruments adopted by this Organization, which are more relevant for the protection of the human health; we will study them from the perspective of the Dispute Settlement Body jurisprudence. Finally, we will also mention the problem of the juridical status of the precautionary principle in the International Law.
