论国际投资仲裁中利润损失的认定标准

Judging Standard of Profit Loss in International Investment Arbitration

国际补偿中的利润损失因属于未来预期,具有主观臆测性,历来较难认定。国际法律文件和国际投资仲裁的实践均表明,在投资东道国不法行为与利润损失之间的因果关系、损失后果的可预见性以及损失的确定性等问题上,国际投资仲裁案件中的利润损失的认定标准属于一种比普通商事合同案件更为严格的标准。这主要是由国际投资项目所固有的长期性甚至永久性、复杂性以及公共利益性质决定的。

Profit loss in international compensation is always deemed as speculative as it belongs to future expectation,and thus hard to be judged.The international legal instruments and arbitral practice have shown that the judging standard of the profit loss in international arbitration cases is somewhat higher than that in ordinary commercial contract cases in respect of the causal relation between the wrongful acts of the host state and the losses,the foreseeability of the consequences of damage,and the certainty of the profit loss.This is mainly determined by the inherent features of investment projects,such as longevity,even eternity,complexity,and a nature of public welfare.
