印度2015年雙邊投資條約範本草案評析－－White Industries v. India案裁決陰影下的重大立場變遷

Comment on India’s New BIT Model Draft—Major Position Shift in the Shadow of White Industries v. India Case

在White Industries v. India 案裁決的陰影下，印度制定了2015年雙邊投資條約範本草案。新範本草案在投資定義、運用範圍、公平與公正待遇、國民待遇、最惠國待遇、徵收、例外等方面嚴重削弱了投資者的保護，規定了投資者、投資和母國的義務，加強了對仲裁庭管轄範圍、仲裁員利益衝突、仲裁庭解釋權的限制，強化了東道國管制權。新範本草案表明，印度的國際投資法政策立場發生了重大改變，從主要強調投資者保護轉向了主要強調東道國主權。

In the shadow of White Industries v. India Case, India formulated and published new BIT model draft in 2015. New BIT model draft makes many major changes in respect to definition of investment, scope of application, fair and equitable treatment, national treatment, most favoured nation treatment, expropriation, exceptions, stipulates obligations of investor, investment and home state, limits jurisdiction of arbitral tribunal, prevents conflict of interest of arbitrators, limits power of interpreting BIT, greatly weakening protection of investor, greatly strengthening right of regulate of host state. New BIT model draft demonstrates that there is major position shift of India in international investment law, from focusing on protection of investor toward focusing right of regulation of host state.
