摘要： 《保护和促进文化表现形式多样性公约》首次以国际公约的形式确立了“文化多样性”的概念，并赋予缔约国以此为目的而采取各种措施（包括限制文化产品或服务的进口）的权利。这必然会与以自由贸易为主旨的WTO规范产生冲突。这种冲突主要体现为一种“适用法律上的冲突”。对此种冲突，可以在文化多样性公约和WTO的框架内进行调和。鉴于WTO在世界范围内的重大影响，在其框架内的调和更加重要。具体体现为：由争端解决机构通过条约解释的方法予以调和；由部长级会议或总理事会作出决议，明确文化和贸易的关系。

Abstract: It is for the first time that the concept of the "cultural diversity", as a binding instrument, is acknowledged in The Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which entitles the contracting party to adopt measures including putting restrictions on the import of cultural products or services to protect the cultural diversity. Such provisions will inevitably conflict with the WTO treaties aiming at free trade. Essentially, the conflict is one in the applicable law and can be resolved under the frame of both the UNESCO conventions and WTO. In light of the wide influence of WTO, the reconciliation under its frame is far more important, in detail, settling the dispute through the interpretation of the treaty by the related organization, or through the resolution by the Ministerial Conference or the General Council.

Key words: WTO, cultural diversity, conflict of treaties, UNESCO
