Construction of the Belt and Road Investment Dispute Mediation Mechanism
Due to the differences between countries in the Belt and Road cooperation network in many aspects such as economy,law and culture,the investment disputes between foreign investors and host countries are particular-ly complicated.As an alternative dispute resolution method,mediation has incomparable advantages over other dis-pute resolution methods.The promotion of mediation in the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative has both feasi-bility and realistic difficulties.On the basis of learning from other international mediation systems and combining with the special conditions of the Belt and Road Initiative,this paper constructs an operable and enforceable investment dispute mediation mechanism from the aspects of the establishment of permanent institutions,mediation intervention time,mediator qualification and appointment,mediation time limit,mediation confidentiality and exception provi-sions,and mediation implementation,so as to ensure the stability and long-term development of the Belt and Road construction,while helping to promote the diversified development of international investment dispute settlement.
