A partir da repartição sistêmica interna do ordenamento jurídico internacional, consolidando de certa forma a independência dos regimes ambiental e comercial, potencializa-se a concorrência de jurisdições competentes para solucionar os conflitos, bem como a aplicação desconexa de diferentes normas que tutelam interesses comuns da sociedade. Nesse espectro, o presente artigo objetiva verificar o fenômeno que surge quando normas dos tratados multilaterais ambientais, que estipulam restrições comerciais, conflitam com a questão da ampliação do comércio internacional, mormente violando os princípios nucleares da OMC da cláusula da nação mais favorecida e do tratamento nacional. Assim, através da análise de tratados internacionais, de jurisprudência e de revisão bibliográfica, demonstrar-se-á que as disposições dos tratados ambientais e comerciais interagem no cenário jurídico internacional, denunciando que o sistema de livre-comércio inclina-se a adaptar a agenda ambiental entre as suas preocupações.References
