摘要

在投资者-国家争端解决机制(ISDS)改革的持续讨论中,争端预防机制(dpm)引起了各国的广泛关注。投资申诉机制作为DPM的一种典型形式,不仅在纠纷升级为投资仲裁之前提供了一种分散、经济、省时的解决途径,而且在多元投资法制度的形成中具有不可替代的作用。尽管该机制对投资者和国家都有明确的好处,但关于这一专题的学术研究却很少。在此背景下,本文借鉴人权保护等领域的相关实践,旨在通过概述与投资监督机构的建立和运作有关的基本原则,即独立性、可及性和有效性,为文献作出贡献。它进一步探讨了由于国际投资法和解决争端程序的独特特点而对该机制的执行所产生的潜在挑战。最后,它呼吁建立一个集地方法律、条约规则和多边指导于一体的三级国际监察体系。

Towards a three-tiered ombuds system for investment dispute prevention: principles and challenges
ABSTRACT In the ongoing discourse of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) reform, dispute prevention mechanisms (DPMs) have attracted extensive attention among States. As a typical form of DPM, the investment ombuds mechanism not only serves as a decentralized and cost and time-efficient avenue to resolve disputes before they escalate into investment arbitration but also plays an irreplaceable role in the formation of a plural investment law regime. Despite the mechanism’s unequivocal potential to benefit both investors and States, scholarly research on the topic is scarce. Against this backdrop, this article – learning from relevant practice in areas such as human rights protection – aims to contribute to the literature by outlining the fundamental principles relating to the establishment and operation of investment ombuds institutions, namely independence, accessibility, and effectiveness. It further canvasses the potential challenges to the implementation of the mechanism arising from the unique characteristics of international investment law and dispute settlement procedures. Lastly, it calls for the creation of a three-tiered international ombuds system integrating local laws, treaty rules and multilateral guidance.
