Abstract In the Qatar v. UAE case, the Court reached, without giving much explanation, an interpretation different from that of the CERD Committee over the phrase “national origin” in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This, in fact, marks a deviation from the Court’s previous case law. Through a close reading of the Court’s judgment and the Committee’s decision, this comment argues that their diverging interpretations bring to the surface the structural differences between these two institutions. These differences had been obscured in the Court’s jurisprudence, and a more principled approach towards human rights treaty bodies is needed for the Court in the future.

国际法院与消除种族歧视委员会之间的区别：对《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》（卡塔尔诉阿拉伯联合酋长国）案适用的评论

摘要 在卡塔尔诉阿联酋案中，法院在没有给出太多解释的情况下，对《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》中的“民族血统”一词做出了与消除种族歧视委员会不同的解释。事实上，这标志着对法院先前判例法的偏离。通过仔细阅读法院的判决和委员会的决定，该评论认为，他们的不同解释使这两个机构之间的结构差异浮出水面。这些差异在法院的判例中已被掩盖，未来法院需要对人权条约机构采取更有原则的做法。
