浅析国际商事仲裁中当事人的风险与防范

Risk and Protection of the Party Concerned in the Arbitration of International Business

与其他的争议解决机制相比,国际商事仲裁具有广泛的国际性、高度的自治性、相当的灵活性和很强的权威性,而《纽约公约》的存在使得裁决在外国得到执行的可能性大大增加,这些都使其成为目前解决国际民商事纠纷的最佳选择。在我国,从1956年中国国家贸易委员会正式设立对外贸易仲裁委员会到1994年《中华人民共和国仲裁法》的颁布,理论界对仲裁的研究逐渐深入,实务界也越来越多地在发生争议时选择仲裁方式。但是长期以来,国内对国际商事仲裁的研究一般侧重于从法律的角度对仲裁制度和规则的研究,且大都持有支持仲裁的态度,这使得对法律不够了解的人们很容易认为仲裁是一种既公正又有效的争议解决方式。但事实上,由于国际商事仲裁的过程是一个存在很大不确定性的过程,存在着各种各样的风险,对当事人而言,仲裁有可能变成一种既昂贵又费时的争议解决方式。

For a long period of time,the studies of international business in China are primarily the studies of the system and regulations of arbitration from legal perspective,and often show a favorable support for arbitration.This results in the fact that those who are not familiar with law easily take arbitration as a justice and effective way to solve disputes.As a matter of fact,however,because the process of the arbitration of international business is a process full of uncertainties and risks,arbitration,to the party concerned,might become an expensive and time-consuming way of solving disputes.
