南海仲裁案管辖权和可受理性问题研究评述

Review of Literature on Jurisdiction and Admissibility of the South China Sea Arbitration

南海仲裁案裁决对管辖权和可受理性问题所作认定引起了学术界的热烈讨论,本文评述2016年至2021年公开发表的涉及该问题评论的近20篇英文论文。过去五年间,学者们对仲裁庭就管辖权和可受理性问题所做裁决的几乎所有方面都进行了大量研究,特别是就争端方的同意、争端的识别和定性、仲裁庭管辖权的先决条件和例外等议题发表了诸多评论意见。一些学者赞同仲裁庭的做法,但多数学者从不同角度提出了不同看法。学者们所讨论的某些问题对仲裁庭管辖权的确立和行使是颠覆性的,且完全有能力剥夺仲裁庭所作两项裁决的效力。

Ruling on jurisdiction and admissibility in the South China Sea(SCS)Arbitration provokes a debate among academics.This paper summarizes the main comments on the SCS Arbitration decisions relating to the issue from nearly 20 English papers published during 2016-2021.Scholars made lots of studies and comments on almost all aspects of the Tribunal’s decisions on jurisdiction and admissibility,especially on the consent of the disputants,identification and characterisation of the dispute,preconditions and exceptions to the Tribunal’s jurisdiction.Some agree with the position of the Tribunal,while most of authors have put forward their different views from various perspectives.Parts of the issues discussed are fundamental to the establishment and exercise of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction,which seem fully capable of depriving the validity of the two Awards rendered by the Tribunal.
