In the WTO a risk assessment is a mechanism of maintaining a balance between the interests of international trade and the protection of human life and health. In the course of the study, the author concludes that despite a historically different understanding of risk assessment, at present most SPS disputes are considered through the prism of this mechanism. At the same time, the author notes that there is no sufficient risk assessment recognition in the DSB practice. The author marks a practical importance of this article for risk-based approaches in Russia.
