论国际商会国际仲裁院裁决的国籍

On the Nationality of ICC Awards

尽管国际商会国际仲裁院设在法国巴黎,但是由该院管理的适用该院仲裁规则做出的裁决,并不当然具有法国的国籍,因为确定国际商事仲裁裁决的国籍主要标准是仲裁地点。根据ICC仲裁规则,仲裁地点可以由当事人约定,也可以由仲裁院决定,而无论是当事人约定还是仲裁院决定的仲裁地点,可以在法国,也可以是法国以外的国家和地区。因此,ICC仲裁院的仲裁庭适用该院仲裁规则做出的ICC裁决的国籍,取决于特定仲裁案件所涉及的法律意义上的仲裁地点所在国,而不是仲裁机构所在的国家。

This paper explained the rule of law for the determination of the nationality of ICC awards in accordance with the international commercial arbitration and practices. It is the author＇ s view that ICC awards are not necessarily French awards in spite of the fact that ICC Court of Arbitration is in Paris, France. Because the place of arbitration is the main standard to determine the nationality of the international commercial awards. According to ICC Rules, the place of arbitration could be decided both by the parties＇ agreement or the Court of Arbitration. In the history of ICC practices, such places have been either in or out of Paris. As a result, only awards made in France have the nationality of France, where the place of business of ICC locates. Those made out of France have nationality of the state where the award was made.
