“一带一路”实践下中国国际商事法庭面临的挑战及应对

The Challenges Faced by China International Commercial Court in the Belt and Road Practice and China’s Response

随着“一带一路”倡议的深入推进,中国国际商事法庭应运而生,但在某些方面仍处于探索阶段。针对诉讼程序、审判组织构成与职能、判决承认和执行3个方面存在的问题,应作出以下完善:在诉讼程序方面,可允许当事人合意选择英文作为案件审理语言,对特定案件应允许外籍律师以律师身份参与诉讼,还应分不同情况完善上诉机制;扩大国际商事法官选任范围,合理构建合议庭组成人员,扩大国际商事专家委员会的职能;在中国国际商事法庭判决在域外的承认与执行方面,可以更多地参与国际条约,明确互惠原则标准,加强交流,积极与“一带一路”沿线国家的最高法院订立合作谅解备忘录,采取综合措施助力中国国际商事法庭判决的承认与执行。

As the Belt and Road Initiative progresses,China International Commercial Court(CICC)has emerged,but is still at an exploratory stage in certain aspects.The following improvements should be made to address the problems in litigation procedures,the composition and functions of the trial organization,and the recognition and enforcement of judgments.In terms of litigation procedures,the parties should be allowed to consensually choose English as the language of trial,foreign lawyers should be allowed to participate in litigation as attorneys in certain cases,and the appeal mechanism should be improved in different circumstances.The scope of selection of international commercial judges should be expanded,and the composition of the collegial panel should be reasonably structured.In terms of the recognition and enforcement of the judgments of CICC,China should participate more in international treaties,clarify the criteria of the principle of reciprocity,strengthen exchanges,actively enter into memorandums of understanding on cooperation with the Supreme Courts of other countries along the Belt and Road,and take comprehensive measures to facilitate the recognition and enforcement of the judgments of CICC.
