摘要
ICSID仲裁实践已经认定投资定义条款中'符合东道国法律'的要求构成仲裁管辖权的要件之一,但违反该要求的具体认定标准远未形成一致,从而导致个案的结果具有极大的不确定性。学术界对此问题亦存在根本分歧。分歧的原因在于对投资定义条款中'符合东道国法律'要求的真实含义缺乏准确的理解。该要求不仅构成确立仲裁管辖权的要件,而且是对投资存在的合法性的要求。在ICSID仲裁实践尚不明朗的情况下,中国应对该条款进行修改以避免不确定性。
The ICSID arbitration practice has interpreted the requirement of"in accordance with the laws of the host state"in the investment definition clause as a jurisdictional requirement.It is,however,far from consistent in terms of the scenario where such requirement is not satisfied,the consequence of which is the great uncertainty in the outcome of individual cases.The academic circle also holds divergent understandings of the requirement.The reason for the divergence lies in the lack of correct understanding of the meaning of"in accordance with the laws of the host state"requirement in an investment definition clause.The requirement not only constitutes a jurisdictional requirement,but also a requirement for the legality of an established investment.In such circumstance as unclear as ICSID arbitration practice,China should revise the clause to avoid the uncertainty.
