“南海仲裁案”与国际裁判的公正性--兼论中国相应立场和对策

The South China Sea Arbitration and Impartiality of International Judiciary——Also on China's positions and strategies

菲律宾所提起的"南海仲裁案"仲裁庭2016年7月12日作出"最终裁决",其内容几乎全面支持菲律宾的诉求。如果对仲裁庭所作裁决进行探究,便可发现,该文件不仅在论证逻辑上存在明显漏洞,而且在条约理解、法律适用等方面存在诸多不足。故而,该文件存在着公正性的缺失,因此,难免引发包括中国在内的诸多国家和国际行为体的反对。不过,"南海仲裁案"并非孤立的个案,在国际社会中如此缺乏公正性的国际裁判亦时有发生。这不仅意味着今后中国还有面临相似问题的可能,还意味着中国必须在目前国际法的体系中思考以下问题:这一状态何以出现,中国应如何应对这一状态。

On July 12,2016, the Arbitral Tribunal of the South China Sea Arbitration filed by Philippines made its final award which was almost totally in side with the demands of Philippines. Having made a thorough inquiry into the award which has caused the objection from the a number of participants of international law, we may find that this document is partial and unfair because it’s weak in understanding of treaties and application of law,and has obvious flaws in the logic of legal arguments. However, the “South China Sea Arbitration case” is not an individual case and such unfair and partial awards or judgments often happens in international society, which means there would be similar cases and challenges standing in the way of China’s development in the future. It also means that China must consider the strategies of such phenomena and situations in today’s international law system.
