ICSID仲裁庭与国内法院之间管辖权冲突研究

On the Tension between the Jurisdiction of ICSID Tribunals and That of Municipal Courts

ICSID仲裁庭与国内法院在对案件的管辖权方面存在一种紧张关系。ICSID仲裁庭可以根据《ICSID公约》第47条采取临时措施中止国内平行诉讼程序,从而维护其根据《ICSID公约》第26条享有的排他性管辖权。从ICSID仲裁庭和国内法院的反应来看,严格遵守《ICSID公约》的排他性管辖权规则,对于《ICSID公约》公开宣称的目的以及当事方选择ICSID仲裁的既定意图而言都是合适的,而且在现实中也十分必要。然而,国内平行诉讼程序并不必然与《ICSID公约》第26条的规定相互矛盾,只要平行诉讼中涉及的诉讼请求与ICSID仲裁中讨论的问题没有关联即可。ICSID仲裁庭最合适的做法就是同时聚焦平行程序的主题以及此种程序对当事方权利及最终裁决带来的影响。

There exists a tension between the jurisdiction of ICSID tribunals and that of municipal courts.ICSID tribunals may act pursuant to Article 47 of the ICSID Convention to grant provisional measures to suspend parallel domestic proceedings,thus protecting their exclusive jurisdiction conferred by Article 26 of the ICSID Convention.From the attitudes of ICSID tribunals and domestic courts,strict compliance with the exclusive jurisdiction conforms to the purposes of the ICSID Convention and the established intention of the parties for choosing ICSID arbitration and has its practical relevance.Nevertheless,domestic parallel proceedings are not necessarily against Article 26 of the ICSID Convention,as long as the claims in parallel proceedings have nothing to do with the issues discussed in the ICSID arbitration.The best possible strategy for ICSID tribunals is to focus on both the subject of parallel proceedings and the effect of such proceedings on the parties’rights and on the issuance of the final award.
