论国际投资仲裁中的公共利益保护

国际投资争端往往涉及重大的公共利益,国际投资仲裁度制度的合理设置有助于维持正常的国际经济交往秩序、保障公共利益。但在仲裁实践中,由于国际投资仲裁存在着强调私有财产权的倾向、仲裁程序欠缺透明度、投资者享有争端解决选择权等制度性缺陷,制约着国际投资仲裁对公共利益重要价值追求的实现。应通过缩小仲裁庭的管辖权,规范其审慎解释权,平衡仲裁秘密性与透明性的关系,借鉴"法庭之友"制度建立第三方参与制度,设立国际投资仲裁上诉机制等不同具体制度的改革完善,限制国际投资仲裁庭的自由裁量权,确保国际投资仲裁中的公共利益得以有效维护。

On the Protection of Public Interest in International Investment Arbitration

The international investment dispute usually involves the significant public interest. The Reasonable international investment arbitration system is helpful to keep normal international economy order, and protect the public interest. However in the arbitration practice, with the tendency to protect private property rights, the procedures without transparency, and giving the investor an option to arbitrate, the public interest value has not been reached. The jurisdiction of the tribunal should be limited, the international investment rules should be explained prudently and clearly, the relationship between confidentiality and transparency should be balanced, the third party participation and the international investment arbitration appeal mechanism should be established. With the concrete improvement of international investment arbitration system, public interest would be protected effectively in international investment arbitration.
