Abstract: Article 5:7 of the SPS agreement of the WTO seems to provide the only available framework for referring to the precautionary principle as a means of settling international disputes. Yet are we sure it provides the adequate tool for this purpose? The present article shows there is no all-embracing answer to this question. Whereas important aspects of the precautionary principle are present in article 5:7, others are not. A discussion of the importance of the omitted features is presented
