论国际投资仲裁中援引先例的造法行为

国际投资仲裁体制正在经历内部与外部改革,外部改革表现为上诉机制的引进和欧盟投资法庭的设立,内部改革表现为仲裁庭援引先例的造法行为。仲裁体制的内外部改革旨在使仲裁裁决合法化、正当化。仲裁庭援引先例有利于确保仲裁裁决的一致性、助推国际条约的具体化以及完善国际投资条约的立法模式。仲裁庭通过援引先例进行造法的行为仍需要体系性、多维度的制度支持。

On Precedent-Setting in International Investment Arbitration

The international investment arbitration system is undergoing internal and external reforms.The external reforms are manifested in the introduction of appeal mechanism and the establishment of the EU Investment Court,while the internal reforms are manifested in the arbitration tribunal's invocation of previous awards.The internal and external reform of the arbitration system aims at legalizing and justifying the arbitration award.The precedent cited by the arbitral tribunal is conducive to ensuring the consistency of arbitral awards,promoting the concretization of international treaties and improving the legislative model of international investment treaties.The arbitral tribunal still needs systematic and multi-dimensional institutional support to make laws by citing precedents.
