双边投资保护协定中国际仲裁庭管辖权条款初步研究

Clauses on Jurisdiction of International Arbitration in Bilateral Investment Protection Agreements

通过国际仲裁解决国际投资法律争议是包括中国在内的世界各国缔结的双边投资保护协定的共同规定。本文对双边投资保护协定中专设(ad hoc)仲裁庭和"投资争端国际解决中心"仲裁程序的诸多问题进行了初步研究,并结合WTO《关于争端解决的规则和程序的谅解》的有关规定,就修订和完善中外双边投资保护协定国际仲裁庭管辖权条款提出了若干建议。

The settlement through arbitration of legal disputes over international direct investment is provided for in all bilateral investment treaties (BITs) concluded between states, including China. Such arbitration involves two kinds of arbitral tribunals, ad hoc tribunals and arbitral tribunals of International Center for Settling Investment Disputes. This paper discusses some important issues concerning these two categories of arbitral tribunals and puts forward some suggestions on the amendment of BITs concluded between China and other countries.
