摘要
Ulysseas诉厄瓜多尔案的核心法律争议在于厄瓜多尔国家电力委员会CONELEC的行为能否归因于厄瓜多尔,这关涉到仲裁庭管辖权的判定与国家责任的承担。该案临时裁决裁定仲裁庭具有管辖权,同时对国家归因问题作了简略分析。该案终局裁决中,仲裁庭认定CONELEC的行为不能归因于厄瓜多尔,同时仲裁庭指明了国家归因规则的法律渊源,并提出以区分合同行为与公共权力行为的标准来判断公共部门特定实体行为的国家可归因性。国际投资仲裁解决的是因东道国国际不法行为损害投资者利益的争议,启动这一救济程序的必要前提是该行为由东道国作出,也即东道国相关实体的行为归因于东道国。国家归因规则在国际投资法体系下不断演进,该案终局裁决论证严密,能为相关国际投资仲裁实践提供范例。
The core legal issue in the Ulysseas,Inc v.The Republic of Ecuador case concerns whether the actions of the Consejo Nacional de Electricidad(CONELEC)can be attributed to Ecuador,affecting the determination of the arbitral tribunal’s jurisdiction and the assumption of state responsibility.The interim award in the case ruled that the arbitral tribunal has the jurisdiction and briefly analyzed the issue of the state attribution.In the final award of the case,the Arbitral Tribunal determined that CONELEC’s actions cannot be attributed to Ecuador.The arbitral tribunal also elucidated the legal origins of state attribution rules and proposed criteria,differentiating between contractual actions and sovereign actions,to determine the attribution of actions conducted by a specific entity within the public sector to a state.International investment arbitration resolves disputes where a host state’s international wrongful act harms investor’s interests.A prerequisite for initiating this remedy procedure is that the act must be committed by the host state,i.e.,actions of the host state’s entities can be attributed to the host state.State attribution rules in the international investment law system continue to evolving,and the comprehensive reasoning of the final award of this case can serve as a precedent for subsequent international investment arbitration practices.
