论中国国际商事仲裁的法律适用问题

On Issues of Application of Law in China's International Commercial Arbitration

我国在认定国际商事仲裁协议的效力时 ,应适用或参照《纽约公约》的规定 ,可仲裁的争议事项范围尚有待扩大。我国一些仲裁机构的仲裁规则也已有限地赋予了当事人对仲裁程序法律适用的选择权 ,“非内国仲裁”理论的某些合理内容 ,我们可以考虑借鉴吸收。我国关于国际商事仲裁实体法的适用 ,以有限制的意思自治原则和最密切联系原则为主 ,但不得违背我国强行法的规定。基于我国国际商事仲裁法律适用的现状 ,仲裁法的修改目标之一应该是使我国至少成为对外商有一定吸引力的一个新兴的国际商事仲裁中心 ,使仲裁程序更加简捷 。

While China determines the effectiveness of international commercial arbitration agreements, the provisions of New York Convention should be applied or taken as a reference. However, the scope of disputes for arbitration should be enlarged. Some arbitration organizations in China have given parties the right to choose the application of law concerning arbitration procedure. Some reasonable contents in the theory of “non-domestic arbitration' can be taken as a reference and adopted. The application of the substantive law of international commercial arbitration in China takes the principle of limited party autonomy and the principle of proximate connection as primary, and it cannot be against the provisions of compulsory law. Because of the current situation of the legal application of China's international commercial arbitration, one of the objectives of amending the arbitration law is to make China a new appealing international commercial arbitration center to foreign businessmen and make the arbitration procedure more simple and convenient.
