摘要
国际投资法国民待遇原则的主要内容为:外国投资者在一国的投资,享有的待遇不得低于相似或相同情形下本国投资者所享有的待遇。国民待遇是投资东道国赋予外国投资者的一项权利,该权利属于相对性权利,其具体内容依赖于国内投资者的权利享有状况。因此,只有明确相应的"国民",才能适用相应的"待遇",而"国民"的认定则是国民待遇原则适用的第一步。国际投资协定和投资争端解决实践大多采纳"相似/相同情形"作为界定"国民"的标准之一。而何为"相似/相同情形",不同投资协定存在不同表述,而投资仲裁机构之间也存在不同理解。本文从投资协定与争端解决实践出发,对现有阐述"相似/相同情形"的典型模式予以总结,并在此基础上形成具体化上述概念的方法,期望在理论和实践上对该问题的理解有所启发。
The core of National Treatment in International Investment Law constitutes the treatment accorded to foreign investments and investors, which shall be no less favorable than the treatment s given by its own nationals of one country under similar or same circumstances. National treatment is conferred by the host countries as relative right to foreign investors, and such a right relies on the rights enjoyed by domestic investors. It is thus crucial to find out the relative domestic investors first in order to apply national treatment. International investment treaties and dispute settlement tribunals tend to define the ＇relative investors＇ with ＇similar/like or same/identical situations/circumstances＇, but there is no clear and uniform description of such terms. This article hence tries to find out basic method to narrow and shape the above expressions from the experience of investment treaties and dispute settlement tribunals. Hopefully, academics and investment practice can be inspired in understanding ＇similar/like or same/identical situations/circumstances＇ by this article.
