晚近,越来越多的BIT规定了保护伞条款。各国在缔约实践中对该条款的态度并不统一,对该条款的适当解释依赖于其具体用语、前后文、条约的目的与宗旨、谈判史或者能表明缔约方意图的其他材料。对“应该遵守”“任何承诺/义务”的解释通常将涵盖缔约方所承担的包括合同性义务在内的所有义务。有的保护伞条款对合同规定了独特的管辖权顺序,排除基于条约的仲裁庭管辖权。最后,除了在新条约中采用明确的用语之外,由缔约方来进一步解释他们纳入保护伞条款的意图,将是一个更受欢迎以及更为需要的发展方向。
Recently, more and more BITs have stipulated the umbrella clause. The attitude of States in the practice of the Convention is not uniform. The appropriate interpretation of the provision depends on the specific language, context, purpose and purpose of the treaty, the history of the negotiations, or other materials that indicate the intention of the Party. The interpretation of “should comply with ” “Any commitments / obligations ” will generally cover all obligations of the Party, including contractual obligations. Some umbrella provisions provide for a unique sequence of jurisdiction for the contract, excluding the jurisdiction of treaty-based arbitral tribunals. Finally, beyond the explicit terms used in the new treaty, further intention by parties to explain their inclusion of the umbrella clause will be a more welcome and much-needed direction for development.
