摘要
一直以来,国际投资法律和人权在国际法领域是各自发展的,现有的国际投资协定很少对人权问题作专门规定。双边投资协定为投资者确立了较高的保护标准,双边投资条款的不确定性使得东道国居民人权与投资者权益之间的冲突与矛盾难以避免,现有投资仲裁庭缺乏解释BIT条款的权威,也对东道国的人权保护状况产生了负面影响。为更好地尊重并保护人权,应修改或明确双边投资协定的实体法条款,以防止仲裁庭随意解释投资规则,从而促进人权保护。
The International Court of Justice delivered its judgment on the case of "Questions Relating to the Obligation to Prosecute or Extradite"(Belgium V.Senegal).In this judgment,the court considers that Senegal breached its obligation " to prosecute or to extradite" under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment(herein after "Convention").This judgment is important in at least two aspects.On the one hand,it confirmed that based on a certain " common interest",a contracting party other than an injured state has the lacus standi in the I.C.J.to invoke the responsibility of another state which has breached its international obligation.On the other hand,it clarified the meaning of the obligation " to prosecute or to extradite",especially the relationship between the obligation of "prosecution" and the obligation to " extradite".According to the Convention,the State concerned is obligated to submit the case to its competent authority for the purposes of prosecution,irrespective of the existence of a prior request for the extradition of the suspect.
