多边投资协议谈判和发展中国家的对策(上)——国际多边投资协议问题的由来和发展

MAI Talks and DCs' Countermeasures (1)-Origin and Development of MAI

关于订立国际多边投资协议的问题由来已久。尽管目前世界上还没有一个全面的多边投资协议，但事实上存在着一个国际投资法律框架，这个框架由各主权国家的国内法规、国家间的双边协议、区域性投资协议、诸边和多边的有关协议、非政府组织涉及投资的协议等所构成。由于考虑了发展中国家的实际情况，ＷＴＯ达成了《与贸易有关的投资措施协议》。而ＯＥＣＤ的《多边投资协议》①，只考虑投资者的利益。

Abstract It is of long-standing to conclude a multilateral agreement on investment. Although there is no comprehensive world agreement on it, there has been actually a frame of international investment law existing. This frame is constituted from laws and regulations of various sovereign states, bilateral agreements between countries, regional investment agreements, pluralateral and multilateral related agreements, and agreements concerning investment by non-governmental organizations. Having regard to the concrete conditions of the developing countries, WTO has concluded an agreement on Trade Related lnvestment Measures (TRIMs), whereas the Multilateral Agreement on lnvestment (MAI) by OECD has ended up with failure ,which only takes the interest of the investors into account.
