再谈国际商事仲裁的“国际性”

在商事仲裁领域,区分国际商事仲裁与国内商事仲裁具有重要意义,二者划分会导向不同法律规则的适用。然而,区分仲裁"国际性"与"国内性"的标准,不可与区分仲裁裁决"外国国籍"与"本国国籍"的标准相混淆。国际商事仲裁权也在实践中具备许多国内仲裁权没有的特点和优势。我国《仲裁法》和《民事诉讼法》对于"涉外仲裁"的理解有待进一步修正,我国长期存在的以机构划分仲裁性质的做法与《纽约公约》提出的"地域原则"也存在差距,不符合国际上日益趋同的判断标准。

Reconsideration on the “International Character” of International Commercial Arbitration

In commercial arbitration, the distinction between international commercial arbitration and domestic commercial arbitration is important, it will guide to different application of legal rules.However, this distinguishing criteria is not the same standard as distinguishing between “foreign award” and “domestic award” .In practice, the International commercial arbitration power has unique features and advantages which are not found in domestic arbitration.As to China, the understanding of International arbitration in Chinese Arbitration Law and Civil Procedure Law has to be further updated. Considering the growing convergence in the world, we need to face the gap between our institutional criteria and the “principle of territoriality” advocated by New York Convention.
