2018年3月5日，国际商会仲裁院（The International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC Court）发布消息宣布成立一个委员会，以应对“一带一路”倡议可能带来的潜在争议解决机会。

The International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Court) has announced the establishment of a commission to address dispute resolution potential in relation to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

国际商会仲裁院（ The ICC International Court of Arbitration ）主席 Alexis Mourre 去年秋天在ICC仲裁院工作会议期间宣布成立该委员会。该委员会将推动ICC现有的争议解决程序和基础设施的发展，以支持受理一带一路纠纷。Herbert Smith Freehills 国际律所争端解决事务领域全球主管 Justin D'Agostino被任命为委员会主席，国际商会北亚地区仲裁及ADR主任范铭超（Mingchao Fan）将出任秘书。

Alexis Mourre, President of the ICC Court announced the establishment of the commission during the ICC Court’s working session last autumn. The commission will drive the development of ICC’s existing dispute resolution procedures and infrastructure to support Belt and Road disputes. Justin D’Agostino, Global Head of Disputes at Herbert Smith Freehills and Hong Kong’s alternate member of the ICC Court, has been named commission chair while Mingchao Fan, ICC Director for North Asia, will act as secretary.

D'Agostino先生强调国际商会现有的程序非常适合一带一路的纠纷，并表示没有解决一带一路纠纷的'一刀切'的方法。但是应鼓励在一带一路相关商业协议中纳入调解条款，并提供仲裁条款以防调解失败。国际商会作为世界领先的仲裁和调解服务提供商，拥有久经考验的机制和阵容强大的仲裁员和调解人队伍。它是向新丝绸之路沿线各方提供适当、有效争议解决服务的理想地点。

Underscoring that ICC’s existing procedures are well-suited to Belt and Road disputes, Mr D’Agostino said: “There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ method of resolving Belt and Road disputes. But there is a concerted effort to encourage mediation clauses in Belt and Road agreements, with provision for arbitration if mediation fails. ICC is already a world leading provider of arbitration and mediation services, with tried and tested mechanisms and a strong pool of arbitrators and mediators. It is ideally placed to provide appropriate, effective dispute resolution services to parties all along the New Silk Road.”

一带一路倡议委员会的成立是为了考虑国际商会如何最好地应对“一带一路”倡议带来的争端解决机会，该倡议计划中或已在进行的项目据估计达到9,000亿美元。

The Belt and Road Initiative commission has been established to consider how ICC can best respond to dispute resolution opportunities arising from the Belt and Road initiative, which is estimated to have US$900bn in projects planned or already underway.

D'Agostino先生宣称，国际商会在仲裁机构中独一无二，因为它具有真正的国际覆盖面，在100多个法域（包括一带一路沿线地区）设有秘书处和/或国家委员会，从而赋予国际商会地区专业知识来解决大规模基础设施建设所不可避免产生的诸多争端。

“ICC is unique among arbitral institutions in that it has truly international coverage, with secretariats and/or national committees in over 100 jurisdictions,” Mr D’Agostino said. “Many of these lie along the Belt and Road route, giving ICC the regional expertise to resolve the disputes that will inevitably arise from a construction and infrastructure initiative of this scale.”

ICC计划在明年举办一系列活动，以扩大其一带一路影响力。活动计划在包括中国，哈萨克斯坦，吉尔吉斯斯坦，尼日利亚，东南亚，日本和香港在内的不同地区举办。

ICC is planning a series of events over the next year to spotlight its Belt and Road capabilities. Events are planned in diverse locations including China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Southeast Asia, Japan and Hong Kong, with more to come.

“我们认识到让一带一路沿线企业和政府的主要利益相关方参与的重要性，以确保我们能为各方提供最好的服务。”Mourre先生说。 “我们的主要目标是确保在发生争议时能够有效解决问题，并且对当事方的商业关系损害最小。 “一带一路”是一项长期倡议，许多交易关系可能将持续数十年之久。

“We recognise the importance of engaging key stakeholders within both corporates and governments all along the Belt and Road, to ensure that we are offering the best possible service to parties on all sides,” said Mr Mourre. “Our main objective is to ensure that where disputes arise, they are resolved efficiently and with minimal damage to the parties’ commercial relationships. The Belt and Road is a long-term initiative; many of these relationships will last for decades.”

编者注：

国际商会很早就表示出对参与解决一带一路争议的巨大兴趣，据贸促会网站去年报道，中国已经与一些国际民间组织达成共识，如国际商会已认同国际性“一带一路”争议解决中心的建立，并表达了参与该平台的意向。

笔者曾经提出广泛吸收各类民间和官方争议解决机构，借助互联网威力，打造“一带一路”争议解决中心公共服务平台的基本构思。（漆彤、黄丽萍：《構建“一帶一路”爭議解決中心的若干思考》，载《一国两制研究》2017年第4期http://www.ipm.edu.mo/cntfiles/upload/docs/research/common/1country_2systems/2017_4/15.pdf）

相信除了国际商会，对一带一路争议解决感兴趣的机构不在少数。如何抓住机会，充分引导和利用各种资源，构建中国主导下的新一代国际经贸争议解决范式，值得好好琢磨。
