国际法与国际条约一、国际法的概念与当今的发展(一)国际法的概念与特征国际法(International Law),原称“万国法”(Law of Nations),是指国家之间的法律,是国家在其相互交往中形成的,主要用来调整国家之间关系的有法律约束力的原则、规则和制度的总称。
国际法有时也称为国际公法。
这是作为与国际私法相区别的一个名称。
因为国际法所调整的主要是一种国家与国家之间的“官方”关系,管的都是“公家”的事,所以被称为国际公法。
而国际私法主要是调整不同国家的自然人或法人之间的民事法律关系,是一种私人之间的关系,如涉外合同与婚姻的法律适用问题。
这与国际公法的性质是不同的。
但国际私法在调整具有涉外因素的民事法律关系中也应适用国际法的一些基本原则,有时国际上并就某些国际私法规则签订国际公约。
在这种意义上,国际私法也成为广义的国际法的一个部门。
但一般意义上的国际法,包括我们今天所讲的国际法,都是指国际公法。
国际法与国际私法有各自不同的内容体系。
国际法的内容体系是由国际关系的内容体系所决定的。
从国际关系的内容来看,包括政治、经济、外交、军事、法律等各个不同领域。
国家之间在这些不同领域的交往过程中,都会逐渐产生和形成一些具有法律约束力的原则、规则和制度。
有些领域的原则、规则和制度日趋完备,于是形成一些较为系统的部门法。
例如,海洋法、空间法、外交关系法、领事关系法、国际经济法、国际人权法、战争法等。
这些不同的部门法律,包括条约法,都是国际法的组成部分。
国际法是法律的一个部门,但又是一个性质比较特殊的部门。
它不是一国的法,而是国家间的法。
因此,与国内法相比较,它有一些不同于国内法的特征。
主要有以下三点:第一,国际法的主体与国内法的主体不同。
在国内法中,法律的主体,也就是法律关系的参加者和由此而产生的权利和义务的享有和承担者,除了国家外,还有自然人和法人,而且主要是自然人和法人。
但是,国际法的主体主要是国家,个人一般不是国际法主体。

国际法名词解释International Custom国际习惯指经接受成为法律的一般实践、惯例或做法。
由两个因素构成:①客观因素:是各国的重复类似行为,是“常例”;②主观因素:是被各国认为有法律约束力,是“法律确信”。
Opinio Juris法律确信是惯例形成习惯的一种心理因素,指各国认为该惯例是国际法所必要的,因而相约共同接受其约束,承认其具有法律拘束力。
Jus Gentium, the law of nation万民法★★★ 2002①古代罗马法有市民法和万民法之分。
市民法(jus civile)适用于罗马市民之间,而万民法即“各民族的法”,是罗马帝国时期调整罗马市民和外国人之间以及外国人之间的关系的法律,是现代国际法和国际私法的早期渊源;②万民法并不是国际法,只是有涉外因素,即涉及外国人的罗马法律,而且属于私法性质;③但是,后来万民法被理解为所有与罗马有交往关系的国家所一致同意的正义原则,与以自然为依据的自然法相区别;④格老秀斯继续维持了市民法和万民法的分类,1625年,在其著作《战争与和平法》中他所称的万民法是指其拘束力来自所有或许多国家的意志的法律,此时的万民法已不是原来罗马国内法意义上的万民法,而是国际法。
The Peace of Westphalia威斯特伐利亚和会2019,2019是1643-1648年间为结束17世纪欧洲三十年战争所召开的威斯特伐利亚和会以及签订的一系列和约的总称。
主要调整了哈布斯堡王室和法国、瑞典及神圣罗马帝国内等诸侯邦国之间的关系,确立了法国欧洲霸主地位。
《威斯特伐利亚和约》是国际关系史上一个划时代的事件,标志着国际法发展的新阶段,为近代国际法形成奠定了基础。
意义:①威斯特伐利亚公会承认罗马帝国统治下的许多邦国为独立主权国家,罗马帝国所体现“世界国家”观念被主权国家观念替代,国际法与神权脱离;②和约开创了以多边会议方式解决争端的国际先例,要求以和平方式解决国际争端;③确立了国家主权平等、领土与独立原则和国际法上的承认制度;④规定了和约必须遵守原则,由此奠定了初步的国际法强制力,外交关系法和武力自卫原则也由此开始。

Helps manage corporate risk: Increasingly, investors are concerned with avoiding and managing the risks associated with potential rights violations and environmental impacts. Foreign investors operating in a state with a robust regulatory environment are less likely to face strikes or public protests that may disrupt operations. They are also less likely to be the target of NGO campaigns that can expose them to reputational damage, or to be the subject of civil or administrative claims for violations of rights or environmental harm. In addition, investors are also increasingly concerned with avoiding corruption in connection with their investments. Not only may contracts procured through bribery and other forms of corruption be unenforceable, but investors also risk being prosecuted in the host state, their home state or both. As discussed in the preceding section,a even where investors are not convicted, an investigation and the media attention that accompanies a prosecution can result in reputational damage, which in turn can result in a decrease in share value. Operating in a state with strong anti-corruption legislation can reduce the risk that investors will get caught up in corrupt activities.a See Section 4.4.2.5 (Obligations to Refrain from Acts or Complicity in Acts of Bribery and Corruption).).b See Section 4.4.2.5 (Obligations to Refrain from Acts or Complicity in Acts of Bribery and Corruption). Implements states’ international obligations and supports sustainable development: Introducing new stronger domestic laws and regulations, or amending existing laws and regulations in the areas of human rights (including labour rights and indigenous peoples’ rights), anti-corruption and environmental protection, allows states the opportunity to bring their laws into compliance (where they are not already) with their international obligations. States considering introducing such regulatory measures may wish to consider their international obligations. The most widely accepted international obligations in these areas are surveyed below.Anti-corruption and environmental protection obligationsAs discussed in the previous section, most Commonwealth states are parties to one or more anti-corruption treaties.b In addition, most states have ratified the following major international environmental treaties, and may be parties to a range of others, and therefore have obligations under such agreements:C onvention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, 1973501F ramework Convention on Climate Change, 1992502K yoto Protocol to the Framework Convention on Climate Change, 1997503C onvention on Biological Diversity, 1992504(353 | P a g eCartagena Protocol on Biosafety, 2000505V ienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, 1988506M ontreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer, 1989507S tockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, 2001508C onvention on the Law of the Sea, 1982509C onvention to Combat Desertification, 1994510Only three Commonwealth member states are parties to the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, 1979511 and the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, 1998 (Aarhus Convention).512 However, states may wish to consider the standards set out in these instruments. In particular, the norms set out in the Aarhus Convention are relevant to states interested in pursuing sustainable development. This treaty recognises, among other things, the importance of protecting the environment as necessary for human well-being and the enjoyment of human rights and to protect the interest of future generations.513 It provides rights and protections regarding access to environmental information,514 meaningful participation in environmental decision-making,515 and rights to challenge environmental decisions in both judicial and non-judicial fora.516Human rights standardsIn determining the adequacy of existing domestic law, states should consider their human rights obligations under customary international law and under the core UN human rights treaties discussed above.a They may also wish to refer to the measures proposed in the section on investors’ human rights oblig ations,b which if implemented in domestic law would go some way to satisfying the international human rights law obligation to protect human rights.a See Section 4.4.2.2 (Obligation to Respect Internationally Recognized Human Rights).b See Section 4.4.2.2 (Obligation to Respect Internationally Recognized Human Rights).Labour rights standardsStates’ labour rights obligations include those entrenched in customary international law and the following obligations:The ILO conventions to which states a re parties;517and(354 | P a g eOther relevant international instruments, including general human rights treaties which protect labour rights to which states are parties, such as the ICERD, ICCPR, ICESCR, CEDAW, CRC, ICMW and ICPD.In addition, the labour protections put in place by states which are members of the ILO518 should also reflect the principles of ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, 2008.519 Together with the ILO Constitution, 1919, the Philadelphia Declaration, 1944 and the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998, the Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization provides the basis and method of implementation for the constitutional objectives of the ILO.520 The 2008 Declaration institutionalises the Decent Work Agenda, and requires that ILO member states ‘place full and productive employment and decent work at the centre of economic and social policies’ pursuant to four ‘inseparable, interrelated and mutually supportive’ strategic objectives. These are set out in Box 44.4 below.Box 44.4. Objectives of the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization (i) Promoting employment by creating a sustainable institutional and economic environment in which:Individuals can d evelop and update the necessary capacities and skills they need to enable them to be productively occupied for their personal fulfilment and the common well-being;All enterprises, public or private, are sustainable to enable growth and the generation of greater employment and income opportunities and prospects for all; andSocieties can achieve their goals of economic development, good living standards and social progress;(ii) Developing and enhancing measures of social protection – social security and labour protection – which are sustainable and adapted to national circumstances, including:The extension of social security to all, including measures to provide basic income to all in need of such protection, and adapting its scope and coverage to meet the new needs and uncertainties generated by the rapidity of technological, societal, demographic and economic changes;Healthy and safe working conditions; andPolicies in regard to wages and earnings, hours and other conditions of work, designed to ensure a just share of the fruits of progress to all and a minimum living wage to all employed and in need of such protection;(355 | P a g e(iii) Promoting social dialogue and tripartism as the most appropriate methods for:Adapting t h e implementation of the strategic objectives to the needs and circumstances of each country;Translating economic development into social progress, and social progress into economic development;Facilitating consensus building on relevant national and international policies that impact on employment and decent work strategies and programmes; andMaking labour law and institutions effective, including in respect of the recognition of the employment relationship, the promotion of good industrial relations and the building of effective labour inspection systems; and(iv) Respecting, promoting and realizing the fundamental principles and rights at work, which are of particular significance, as both rights and enabling conditions that are necessary for the full realization of all of the strategic objectives, noting:That freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining are particularly important to enable the attainment of the four strategic objectives; andThat the violation of fundamental principles and rights at work cannot be invoked or otherwise used as a legitimate comparative advantage and that labour standards should not be used for protectionist trade purposes.521The Declaration emphasises that how states attain these objectives is a matter to be determined by each state, taking into account its international obligations, the fundamental principles and rights at work, and in light of international labour standards, a state’s circumstances an d priorities and the co-operation among ILO member states.522 Rights of indigenous peoplesNo international instrument currently exists that specifically articulates the rights of indigenous peoples or the corresponding responsibilities of states, corporations or individuals in relation to investment. However, relevant rights and their related responsibilities can be extracted from international instruments pertaining to indigenous peoples, including the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the ILO Convention (No. 169) Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries, 1989.523 To date, 38 Commonwealth states have endorsed the non-binding UN Declaration, while only two Commonwealth member states are parties to the ILO Convention. (356 | P a g eThe primary concern that arises regarding IIAs from the perspective of indigenous peoples is ensuring that none of the state’s obligations in relation to investors limits the state’s ability to adopt and enforce laws, regulations o r policies that implement its international obligations towards indigenous peoples or that secure the rights of these peoples. In particular, states that have endorsed the UNDRIP have committed to protect the rights set out in Box 4.45 below.Box 4.45. Overview of United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous PeoplesThe right to the full enjoyment, as a collective or individuals of all human rights and fundamental freedoms recognized in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and international human rights law (Article 1);The right to be free from discrimination (Article 2);The right to self-determination (Article 3);The right to autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs (Article 4);The right to life, physical and mental integrity, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be subjected to any act of genocide or violence (Article 7);The right not to be forcibly removed from their lands or territories or r elocated without free, prior and informed consent (Article 10);The right to restitution of cultural, intellectual, religious and spiritual property taken without their free and informed consent (Article 11);The right to practice and revitalize the ir cultural traditions and customs, including maintaining and protecting past, present and future archaeological and historical sites, artifacts, designs, ceremonies, technologies, visual and performing arts and literature (Article 11);The labour right s established in international and national law (Article 17);The right to full participation at all levels of decision-making in matters that affect them and their rights and to good faith consultation to obtain their free prior and informed consent before adoption and implementation of laws and administrative measures that may affect them (Arts. 18 and 19);The right to develop their political, economic and social systems or institutions, to be secure in the enjoyment of their own means of subsistence and development, and to engage freely in all their traditional and other economic activities (Article 20);The right to determine, develop and administer health, housing and other economic and social programmes affecting them (Article 23);The rig ht to protection of traditional medicines and health practices, including the protection of vital medicinal plants, animals and minerals, to access to all social and (357 | P a g ehealth services and to the highest standard of physical and mental health (Article 24);The right to own, use, develop and control the lands they have traditionally owned or otherwise occupied or used (Article 26);The right to conservation and protection of the environment and the productive capacity of their lands or territories and resources (Article 29);The right to maintain, control and protect their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions and their intellectual property over such cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions (Article 31);The right to determine and develop priorities and strategies for the development or use of their lands or territories and other resources, and the right to free, and informed consent prior to the approval of projects affecting their lands, territories and other resources (Article 32);The right to recognition, observance and enforcement of treaties, agreements and other arrangements between states and indigenous peoples (Article 37);The right to access f inancial and technical assistance in the realisation of these rights (Article 39).States should be aware that laws, regulations and policies relating to investors and their investments have the potential to affect indigenous populations in their territory. As discussed in the section on investor human rights obligations,a states have a duty under international law to seek the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples in certain limited circumstances.b These situations include the following:a See Section 4.4.2.2 (Obligation to Respect Internationally Recognized Human Rights).b See Section 4.4.2.2 (Obligation to Respect Internationally Recognized Human Rights).Where proposals to remove of indigenous communities from their lands and ter ritories are being considered;524Where the storage and disposal of hazardous waste on indigenous territory is being contemplated;525Cases where large-scale projects may have a significant impact within indigenous territory.526In all other situations states have, at a minimum, an obligation to consult indigenous peoples. According to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights such consultation must meet the following criteria:Be undertaken in good faith;(358 | P a g eBe pursued through culturally appropriate procedures;Be undertaken in accordance with the traditions of the particular indigenous group;Have the goal of reaching an agreement;Provide clear information to the indigenous group of the possible risks of a particu lar development or investment plan; andAny plan should be accepted by the indigenous group knowingly and voluntarily.527Moreover, the state should require an independent environmental and social impact assessment and guarantee reasonable benefit sharing528 where this is appropriate, such as in situations of resource extraction on indigenous lands.Where investment activity could negatively affect the property rights of indigenous peoples, there is an emerging obligation on states to seek the consent of the indigenous community in question for this activity. In situations where consent is not given, ‘there is a strong presumption that the project should not go forward’.529 If the investment is pursued, the state must take steps to ensure that the indigenous group in question benefits from the investment and it must also take effective measures to mitigate any negative effects.530 States may also wish to provide a further level of protection to indigenous peoples by requiring that their free and informed consent be obtained before the state enacts any laws or regulations in regard to foreign investment that may affect such groups.The relationship between foreign investment and sustainable development is discussed earlier in the Guide.a For foreign investment to promote sustainable development or even economic development, the inhabitants of the host state must be able to reap some of its benefits. Creating a strong, transparent, rights-protective regulatory framework addressing these important policy areas would help to ensure that investors and their investments make a positive contribution to sustainable development in a host state. It would also better protect the rights of individuals and groups, as well as the host state’s environment. States that enact and enforce such laws will contribute substantially to these goals.a See Section 2.3 (Links Between Foreign Investment and Sustainable Development).4) Integrate the obligation on states to enact and enforce legislation to protect human rights, la bour rights, indigenous peoples’ rights and the environment, and to address bribery and corruption into an IIAThere are a variety of different approaches that could be used in IIAs to promote conformity with international obligations relating to human rights, labour rights,indigenous peoples’ rights, environmental protection and anti-corruption standards that impose varying levels of obligation on state parties. These approaches were discussed above in relation to human rights, labour rights, anti-corruption and environmental standards and are summarized here.aa See Section 4.4.2.2 (Obligation to Respect Internationally Recognized Human Rights), Section 4.4.2.3 (Obligation to Refrain from Commission of or Complicity in Grave Violations of Human Rights), Section 4.4.2.4 (Obligation to Comply with Core Labour Standards), Section 4.4.2.5 (Obligation to Refrain from Acts of or Complicity in Acts of Bribery and Corruption); and Section 4.4.3.1 (Party State Obligations Relating to Minimum Standards for Human Rights, Labour Rights, Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, Environmental Protection and Standards to Address Corruption)、b It would also be useful to include statements according priority to these policy objectives in a statement of objectives of the agreement. See Section 4.2.3 (Statement of Objectives).Language in the preamble: The parties could negotiate a general statement in the preamble clarifying that the IIA is to be interpreted in accordance with the parties’ international obligations in identified non-investment policy areas. States would want to ensure that in the preamble, human rights, labour rights, indigenous peoples’ rights and environmental protection, as well as anti-corruption measures are described as having the same level of importance as the investor protections included in an IIA. This would ensure that in interpreting the treaty, these norms are not subordinated to investment protection considerations. States that are serious about protecting these areas of policy concern, however, should incorporate other provisions addressing these issues in addition to such language in the preamble since statements in a preamble do not create binding obligations.bProvisions in the body of the treaty or side agreement to address the problem of a‘race to the bottom’: States could negotiate provisions in an IIA or in a side agreement that:Reaffirm their commitments under international human rights, labour rights, indigenous peoples’ rights treaties and other instruments, environmental protection treaties and anti-corruption conventions;Establish obligations not to relax domestic laws and regulations for the purpose or attracting or retaining investment, and not to fail to enforce domestic standards;Establish an obligation on the parties to stri v e to maintain high levels of human rights, labour rights, indigenous peoples’ rights protection, environmental protection and robust anti-corruption laws, and require parties to strive to improve such standards.States may prefer to adopt the approach of the EC-CARIFORUM EPA for the latter type of provision. As discussed in the subsection on IIA practice, the EPA qualifies the obligation to establish high levels of domestic protection and to strive to improve such standards by recognising the right of the parties to enact regulation to achieve their own (360 | P a g edomestic and sustainable development priorities and to adopt and modify such laws and policies.aa E C-CARIFORUM EPA (2008), Art. 184.1.b See Section 4.3.5 (Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Minimum Standard of Treatment).c See Section 4.3.6 (Limitations on Expropriation and Nationalization); and Section 4.3.12 (Reservations and Exceptions).d The Guide provides a discussion of state-state dispute settlement. See Section 4.5.2 (State-to-State Dispute Settlement). e See Section 4.5.2 (State-State Dispute Settlement).These types of provisions are increasingly used. The provisions described above are becoming more common in relation to labour and environmental protection standards. These provisions offer flexibility. Under these types of provisions, states have significant flexibility. The provisions do not require states to bring their domestic laws into compliance with international standards and there is no obligation to raise the level of domestic protection only a requirement to strive to do so.Risk of investor challenge for states wishing to strengthen their domestic laws. A key shortcoming of these provisions, of which states should be aware, is that they do not directly protect states that introduce new or amended domestic laws from an investor challenge under an IIA. An investor might claim that the introduction or amendment of domestic laws or regulations is a breach of their legitimate expectations under an FET provision.b The risk of such a claim is small, however. It would be hard for an investor to claim that it did not expect a state to act pursuant to the provision expressed in the treaty. This problem could be addressed more directly by introducing a general exception and/or a provision that excluded measures in these areas from the obligations of the treaty.cDo not target investor conduct or give access to treaty-based enforcement mechanisms. All states have difficulty in regulating the conduct of foreign investors. Since these types of provisions do not impose obligations on investors, they do not allow for states to use treaty-based enforcement mechanisms to complement domestic enforcement measures.A party could potentially use state-to-state dispute resolution to enforce these provisions against another party. Where the provision is included in the body of the treaty, such as the obligation not to fail to enforce certain domestic laws, a party could potentially use the state-state dispute settlement process d to pressure another party to comply with such obligations. States may see this as a violation of their sovereignty and may not want to create obligations that would allow the IIA to become an indirect mechanism for enforcing standards in complex and sensitive areas such as human rights protection. One way to deal with this problem is to specifically exclude such obligations from enforcement under the state-state dispute settlement process.e Another approach, which is the approach used in some US FTAs with respect to labour rights, is to include a provision clarifying the scope of a party’s enforcement obligations: (361 | P a g e…each Party retains the right to exercise discretion with respect to investigatory, prosecutorial, regulatory, and compliance matters and to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to enforcement with respect to other labour matters determined to have higher priorities. Accordingly, the Parties understand that a Party is in compliance with [the obligation not to persistently fail to enforce its labour laws] where a course of action or inaction reflects a reasonable exercise of such discretion, or results from a bona fide decision regarding allocation of resources.aSuch a provision would likely make it difficult to find a state in non-compliance with its obligation not to persistently fail to enforce its domestic laws in a particular policy area. Compliance provisions: There are a number of options available for states that do wish to provide for some form of mechanism in an IIA to encourage parties to enforce their domestic laws. Two of these are considered below.Complaint mechanism and enforcement mechanism to encourage states to enforce domestic law. Parties to an IIA could negotiate provisions that provide for a means to receive complaints about non-enforcement of domestic laws and provide a consultative procedure for states to deal with a party’s persistent pattern of non-enforcement of human rights, labour rights or indigenous peoples’ rights, or environmental or ant i-corruption laws.The North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC) provides an example of this type of soft enforcement mechanism. Complaints under NAALC of non-enforcement of a state party’s labour laws are initially dealt with through consultations between National Administrative Offices (NAOs) or government ministers. Where the matter is not resolved through ministerial consultations, a state party may request that an Evaluation Committee of Experts (ECE) be created to investigate and report on the matter.This latter procedure is restricted to non-enforcement of occupational health and safety laws and ‘other technical labor standards’,that are trade related and recognised in the laws of both states.Where the issue concerns an ‘alleged persi stent pattern’ of failure to enforce ‘occupational health and safety, child labor or minimum wage technical standards’ that is not resolved by the ECE, recommendations can, in principle, lead to the creation of an arbitral panel and sanctions, but this is by no means automatic and has never been done.。
