中国企业海外投资中的原住民问题及应对

Indigenous Issues and Responses in Overseas Investment of Chinese Enterprises

原住民这一群体的特殊性,使得他们成为在人权领域中容易被侵犯的群体,也使得投资企业可能在投资过程中面临特殊的原住民问题。传统的国际投资法主要涉及对投资企业的权益保障,而对投资过程中的第三方相对不利。与原住民相关的投资争端在投资仲裁庭中有其特殊性,仲裁庭倾向于保护投资企业的利益。中国投资企业在海外投资中面临的原住民风险有多种表现形式,如环境许可、协商机制、补偿成本等。解决海外投资中的原住民问题既需要中国企业重视与原住民有关的环境许可和社区磋商问题,也需要寻求合理的路径解决投资中的原住民问题。从国际投资的角度来看,在投资过程中解决好原住民问题既能够促进贸易和投资的自由化、便利化,也能进一步推动中国企业的对外投资。

The particularity of the indigenous peoples makes them easy to be violated in the field of human rights,and international enterprises would face special indigenous issues in the operation of investment projects. The traditional international investment law mainly involves the protection of enterprises’ rights and interests,but it is unfavorable to third parties in the process of investment. Investment disputes related to indigenous peoples have their particularity in investment tribunals,which tend to protect the interests of investors. There are many forms of indigenous peoples risk faced by Chinese enterprises in overseas investment,such as environmental licensing,negotiation mechanism,compensation cost and so on. To solve the problem of indigenous peoples in overseas investment requires Chinese enterprises to pay attention to the environmental licensing and community consultation related to indigenous peoples,and to find a reasonable way to solve the problem of indigenous peoples in investment. From the point of view of international investment,solving indigenous peoples problems in the process of investment can not only promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment,but also further promote the foreign investment of Chinese enterprises.
