中国—东盟自由贸易区(以下简称CAFTA)是世界上第三大贸易区,是人口最多且是发展中国家中最大的自由贸易区。在区域经济一体化的过程中,法律制度在促进交往,保障合作,维护秩序等方面发挥着不可替代的作用,争端解决机制是整个法律体系有效运行最具决定性的保障。本文主要以CAFTA《投资协议》中“缔约方与投资者间争端解决”的规定为基础,详述CAFTA关于投资者—缔约方争端解决机制的特点。通过比较和借鉴北美自由贸易区的已有规定,提出完善中国—东盟争端解决机制的建议。
China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) is the third largest trade zone in the world with the largest population and the largest free trade area in developing countries. In the process of regional economic integration, the legal system plays an irreplaceable role in promoting contacts, ensuring cooperation and maintaining order. The dispute settlement mechanism is the most decisive guarantee for the effective operation of the legal system as a whole. This paper is based on the CAFTA Investment Agreement, the Dispute Settlement between Contracting Parties and Investors, and details CAFTA’s features on the investor-contram dispute settlement mechanism. By comparing and drawing lessons from the existing provisions of the North American Free Trade Area, it puts forward suggestions on how to perfect the China-ASEAN dispute settlement mechanism.
