摘要
Crystallex International Corporation(以下简称“Crystallex公司”或“申请人”)诉委内瑞拉玻利瓦尔共和国案是国际投资仲裁领域内有关间接征收的典型案例。该案仲裁庭认定东道国委内瑞拉玻利瓦尔共和国政府(以下简称“委内瑞拉”或“被申请人”)采取的系列措施违背了《加拿大-委内瑞拉双边投资条约》第7条第1款项下的征收条款,由此进一步对国际投资法领域中关于合法征收所必须满足的四个条件,即征收必须出于公共利益、按照正当法律程序、以非歧视的方式进行、且给予及时、充分和有效赔偿,进行了确认。仲裁庭在公平公正待遇标准、间接征收认定等问题上所持的观点对国际投资领域其他条约的实践和其他相关仲裁给予了启示。本文对Crystallex公司诉委内瑞拉玻利瓦尔共和国仲裁案的事实背景、争议焦点、裁判过程及裁判结果进行了梳理,并作简要分析。
The case of Crystallex International Corporation(hereinafter referred to as"Crystallex"or"Claimant")v.the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a typical case of indirect expropriation in the field of international arbitration.The arbitral tribunal,in that case,found that a series of measures taken by the host government,the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela(hereinafter referred to as"Venezuela"or"the Respondent"),violated the expropriation clause under Article 7(1)of the Canada-Venezuela BIT.The tribunal further confirms the four conditions in the field of international investment law that must be met for a lawful expropriation,namely,that the expropriation must be the public purpose,following due process of law,in a non-discriminatory manner,and with prompt,adequate and effective compensation.The tribunal’s views on the fair and equitable treatment standard and the determination of indirect expropriation shed light on the practice of other treaties in international investment and related arbitrations.This article provides a brief analysis of the factual background,the focus of the dispute,the adjudication process,and the outcome of the arbitration case Crystallex Inc.v.the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
