解析国际争端解决机制及其发展前景

International Dispute-Settlement Systems:Analysis and Prediction

对国际争端的不同认识直接影响着国际争端的解决方法,尤其在争端的分类方法中,颇受争议的是将国际争端分为政治争端和法律争端的观点,因为这种观点往往导出这样的结论,政治争端只能用政治手段来解决,法律争端只能用法律手段来解决,然而,国际法院在其判例中明确指出,根本就不存在政治问题的法律原则。事实上,所有的国际争端都含有政治因素,所以,不能在解决国际争端中将政治和法律简单地剥离开。面对现实中复杂多样的各种国际争端,国际社会,特别是一些地区正在积极探索把各种解决手段结合起来加以灵活运用的新型争端解决机制。

Different views of international disputes influence the choice of methods to disputes settlement. Particularly, the idea of classifying international disputes into political ones and legal ones often becomes controversial when one considers the fact that such practice likely results in a conclusion that political disputes can only be settled by political methods and legal disputes only by legal methods. Nevertheless, the International Court of Justice in its merits denied the existence of the principle of political questions. In fact, all the international disputes contain political factors. Therefore, it is not right to purify an international dispute either as a political one or as a legal one. In order to deal with various disputes, some regional international communities are endeavouring to create comprehensive dispute - settlement systems that include more than one method.
