从PCA晚近实践看国家间仲裁的复兴与困境

Renaissance and Obstacles of Inter-State Arbitration:Observations from PCA 's Recent Practice

国家间仲裁是解决主权国家之间争端的重要方式。常设仲裁法院在规则和机制方面的改革创新,使国家间仲裁在晚近二十年呈现复兴之势。但最近的中菲南海仲裁案等,因受到国际政治等案外因素干扰、且仲裁庭在管辖权和实体裁决方面存在谬误,使强制仲裁机制遭遇质疑。只有在尊重争端当事国意愿的前提下,秉持中立性,在仲裁的自愿与强制之间取得适当平衡,国家间仲裁之未来发展才能免于陷入困境。

Inter-state arbitration has been one of the most important means of disputing resolution among sovereign states. It becomes to show a renaissance trend in the last two decades as a result of the PCA＇ s reform and innovation in terms of the arbitration rules and mechanisms. Nevertheless, recent cases such as the South China Sea arbitration, because of interventions from international politics and inappropriate decisions by the arbitral tribunal, led to challenges over compulsory arbitration. Only to respect states＇ willingness and to ensure independence can inter-state arbitration get out of the current predicament.
