《鹿特丹规则》下仲裁相关问题探析

与实体问题的研究热相比,国内对于包括＂仲裁＂章在内的《鹿特丹规则》程序性规定的研究相对较少。公约对班轮运输与非班轮运输规定了不同的仲裁体系,力求为班轮运输的货方提供更好的保护,但同时也不可避免地与传统仲裁理念存在一定冲突。《鹿特丹规则》第十五章＂仲裁＂并不当然对缔约国生效,需要依据公约第91条单独声明才对缔约国具有约束力。我国在考虑是否声明受＂仲裁＂章约束时,需要综合考虑国内各方利益。

By comparison with substantive provisions, research on procedural provisions, including the Chapter of Arbitration, is pretty insufficient. With respect to the arbitration, the Convention stipulates different provisions between liner transportation and non-liner transportation in order to provide more protection for cargo parties.Meanwhile, however, the new provisions may bring the Convention into conflict with traditional arbitration principles. Chapter 15 Arbitration of the Rotterdam Rules shall not bind all the Contracting States but those who make a declaration in accordance with Article 91. All the interests of every relevant parties shall be taken into account when China considering whether be a party to Arbitration chapter of the Convention or not.
