论国际商事仲裁条款的设计

A Study on the Design of International Commercial Arbitration Clauses

"意思自治"在国际商事仲裁中的基础地位已毋庸置疑,对于国际商事仲裁条款的起草者来说,"意思自治"是一种权利,而实现"意思自治"是一种能力。国际商事仲裁条款的设计本身是保证仲裁公正性和效率性的关键环节,且可控性相对较高。本文在概述三类仲裁条款的基础上,提出国际商事仲裁条款应同时具备有效性、确定性及可操作性,选取了几项仲裁条款要素进行分析。在比较各大国际仲裁机构仲裁规则的基础上,结合笔者近年在国际商事仲裁实践中遇到的实务性问题进行分析,提出在设计国际商事仲裁条款过程中应避免的问题以及解决的方式,以求与同行分享心得并进一步探讨。

There is no doubt that'Party autonomy'is the foundation of international commercial arbitration.To the draftsman of international commercial arbitration clauses,'Party autonomy'is not only a grant of right,but also the ability to achieve it.Design of international commercial arbitration clauses is a key step to ensure the justice and efficiency of arbitration,and is relatively controllable. Based on the general introduction of three categories of arbitration clauses,this article proposes that a good arbitration clause shall be effective,confirmative and workable,and analyzes several elements of arbitration clauses under such principles.On the basis of comparative study on the arbitration rules provided by the leading arbitral organizations,taking into the consideration of the author' s practical experiences,this article points out the problems shall be avoided while drafting the international commercial arbitration clauses and provides the way to resolve the same.It is hoped to share the opinion with the readers and seek further discussion on this issue.
