國際投資仲裁中的特免權問題研究

A Study on Evidentiary Privilege in International Investment Arbitration

在國際投資仲裁中特免權被廣泛接受。由於特免權成文規則的缺失，在當事人缺乏明確約定的情況下，仲裁庭需要行使自由裁量權確定特免權規則。各國特免權制度存在較大衝突，仲裁庭需要依據衝突法方法確定特免權規則或者尋求普遍接受的實體規則。國際投資仲裁實踐逐漸發展出一系列特免權規則。我國法律未能在原則上確立特免權制度，不過，在國際投資仲裁中我國仲裁界需要主動接受並運用特免權規則，以維護自身利益。

In international investment arbitration, evidentiary privilege is widely accepted. For the reason of lack of written rules, in absence of the parties’ agreement on it, the tribunal may determine the rules of privilege at its discretion. There exists great conflict of laws among different states, and the tribunal may determine the rules based on the rules of conflict of laws or seek the widely-accepted rules. In practice, the tribunals have developed some rules of privilege. The privilege system is not established in China, but Chinese practitioners should accept and utilize the privilege rules actively in order to protect our own interest.
