Many arguments have been raised to support or reject the idea of unification of law in relation to civil liability. Amongst others, it is claimed that it is impossible to establishment binding principles across different countries. However, in relation to some aspects of tort, the need for unification is necessary due to the process of globalization. Within the European Union, arguments for supporting a unified European civil liability law relate to the emergence of the European Union and an increasingly globalized economy. This issue envisaged in the Treaty of the Union, and the harmonization of tort law is the process of creating common standards across the internal market in relation to tort elements. It is a part of the unified Europe project and a reduction in the significance of national borders. Diversities in national laws may create problem of efficacy in the ever more globalized economy. This article analyzes the importance of harmonization of tort law in the EU, and examines barrier to the harmonization. It concludes that even if this process is of crucial importance, the aim is not to achieve it in all aspects of tort law.

Like a number of international treaties, provisions of WTO Agreements are
subject to ambiguities and problems. Hence, interpretation of WTO provisions is
of great importance to Dispute Settlement Body of World Trade Organization
and international trade lawyers. In this regard, using general principles of law
provided, particularly, by Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the
Law of Treaties (VCLT) require special attention. This Article intends to provide
an answer to this question: To what extent are these principles able to affect the
interpretation of WTO provisions. By considering different interpretation
methods, this Article shows that the general principles of law play an undeniable
role in interpreting and understanding the provisions of WTO. Applying these
principles assists the panels and appellate body to discharge their function and
lead to convergence between WTO and other international legal systems. This
approach has been affirmed by WTO Dispute Settlement Body.
