摘要：本文探讨了欧洲法院，特别是欧盟法院 (ECJ)，对最近针对联合国安理会反恐制裁制度面临的严峻挑战的反应。卡迪的欧洲法院宣布欧盟执行安理会资产冻结决议无效，理由是这些决议违反了欧盟公平程序和财产保护的准则。尽管卡迪的判决在很多方面都是非凡的，并受到大多数观察家的热烈欢迎，但我认为，欧洲法院在卡迪案中对欧盟法与国际法之间关系采取的强有力的多元化态度，代表着与欧盟传统上对国际法的拥抱的急剧背离。欧洲法院在卡迪案中的做法与美国最高法院在麦德林案中的措辞以某些惊人的方式产生共鸣，它向考虑执行安理会决议的其他国家和组织的法院发出了信息，给欧盟和国际法律秩序带来了风险。更重要的是，欧洲法院的做法可能会损害欧盟试图为自己塑造的形象，即对国际法和机构保持独特承诺的良性国际行为体。
Abstract: This article examines the response of Europe’s courts – and in particular of the EU’s Court of Justice (ECJ) - to the dramatic challenges recently brought before them against the UN Security Council’s anti-terrorist sanctions regime. The ECJ in Kadi annulled the EC’s implementation of the Security Council’s asset-freezing resolutions on the ground that they violated EU norms of fair procedure and property-protection. Although Kadi is a remarkable judgment in many ways and has been warmly greeted by most observers, I argue that the robustly pluralist approach of the ECJ to the relationship between EU law and international law in Kadi represents a sharp departure from the traditional embrace of international law by the European Union. Resonating in certain striking ways with the language of the US Supreme Court in the Medellin case, the approach of the ECJ in Kadi carries risks for the EU and for the international legal order in the message it sends to the courts of other states and organizations contemplating the enforcement of Security Council resolutions. More importantly, the ECJ’s approach risks undermining the image the EU has sought to create for itself as a virtuous international actor which maintains a distinctive commitment to international law and institutions.
