国际投资仲裁中紧急仲裁员制度研究

The Emergency Arbitrator in Investment Treaty Arbitration

紧急仲裁员制度在国际商事仲裁领域已被广泛接受，但在国际投资领域中的发展才刚刚开始。由于ICSID及UNCITRAL的仲裁规则均未引入紧急仲裁员制度，紧急仲裁程序在国际投资仲裁案件中的适用十分有限。尽管目前仅有六个在国际投资仲裁背景下适用紧急仲裁程序的案例，但它们已经体现了紧急仲裁员制度与国际投资仲裁间的一些冲突及潜在问题。本文基于对现有案例的总结和分析，探讨紧急仲裁员制度在国际投资仲裁领域中遇到的障碍与挑战，并尝试对紧急仲裁员制度在国际投资仲裁领域的发展前景进行展望。

Emergency Arbitrator, which has been widely accepted in the field of international commercial arbitration, is now being put to use in investment treaty arbitration cases. As the ICSID Rules of Proce- dure for Arbitration Proceedings and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules currently do not provide for emergency relief, this procedure was largely unavailable in investment treaty cases. Even though only six documented cases of emergency interim relief in the investment treaty context are known today, some conflicts and potential problems between the Emer- gency Arbitrator procedure and investment treaty arbitration have already been revealed. Based on the summary and analysis of the existing cases, this article identifies the obstacles and challenges encountered by the E- mergency Arbitrator procedure, and tries to prospect the development of it in the field of investment treaty arbitration.
