Abstract
The main objective of this study is to analyze national security exceptions in the World Trade Organization
(WTO) system, to study how these exceptions are interpreted, to determine their impact and consequences on
the WTO system, as well as to assess the need and prospects for developing exception norms in the WTO system.
The study analyzes the content of the WTO legal norms on national security exceptions, how they are applied
in practice, how these exceptions affect the obligations of membership, and the problems they cause for the
stability and fairness of the international trading system. At the same time, it considers what legal mechanisms should be developed to prevent the abuse of these exceptions and the possibilities of developing clearer and more consistent rules on exceptions in order to further strengthen the WTO system.
