中外BITs對香港、澳門特別行政區運用問題研究－－從＂謝業深案＂＂世能案＂引起的國際法思考

On the Applicability of China-Signed BITs to Hong Kong & Macao SARs—Thoughts under International Law Arising from the Case of Mr. Tza Yap Shum v. the Republic of Peru and the Case of Sanum Investments Limited v. the Lao People’s Democratic Republic

2006年的＂香港居民謝業申訴祕魯政府案＂和2012年的＂澳門世能投資公司訴老撾政府案＂使得＂中國簽訂的雙邊投資協議能否運用于香港、澳門特別行政區？＂這一問題引起了廣泛的討論。兩個案件中，仲裁庭和法院基於不同的分析和理由得出了不同的結論。本文認為，根據國際法上對條約運用空間效力的規則，結合兩個案例中爭議雙方提供的各項證據，應得出中國簽訂的BITs自動運用於香港、澳門的結論。如果中國在國內法上做出了相反的規定，應該采取國際法上的措施，使得＂中外BITs不自動運用于香港、澳門的國內法安排＂與中國承擔的國際義務相一致。

After the ICSID case ‘Mr. Tza Yap Shum v. The Republic of Peru’ in 2006, and the case ‘Sanum Investments Limited v. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic’, the question of ‘Do bilateral investment treaties signed by the People’s Republic of China apply to Hong Kong Special Administrative region & Macao Special Administrative Region?’ is on heating discussion. Based on divergent reasoning approach, tribunals and courts in these two cases drew different conclusion. This article holds the view that looking thought the evidences appeared in the two cases, and analyzing them under rules of international law on the space application of treaties, the conclusion is bilateral investment treaties signed by the People’s Republic of China apply to Hong Kong SAR &Macao SAR. If China has made opposite arrangement in its domestic law, it should take measures to make such arrangement in accordance with international law.
