摘要
国际投资协定签订的初衷是国家通过限制自身规制空间、承诺对外国投资者及其投资的保护,以此来吸引外资、促进国内经济发展.但随着环境问题日益严重,新一代国际投资协定在可持续发展理念引导下,被赋予通过制定规则来整合经济和环境的使命,而国家环境规制权成为维护东道国环境利益的关键.因此,在签订和更新国际投资协定时,应考虑纳入或改进规制权条款和一般例外条款,并对传统国际投资协定中的征收、非歧视待遇、公平和公正待遇等投资保护条款赋予外国投资者的经济权利加以限制,在保障东道国环境规制空间的同时防止其滥用规制权,从而使国家采取合理、有效措施来应对人类共同面对的环境问题.
Abstract
The original intention of the old-generation IIAs was for the countries to attract foreign investment and promote domestic economic development by limiting their own regulatory space and promising to protect foreign investors and their investments.However,as environmental problems become increasingly serious,guided by the philosophy of sustainable development,new-generation IIAs are expected to integrate the economy and the environ-ment through rule-making,and the states'right to regulate for environment becomes the key to safeguarding the environmental interests of the host states.Therefore,signing or renewing IIAs should incorporate the clauses of the right to regulate and general exception,restrict the economic rights granted to foreign investors by investment protec-tion clauses in old-generation IIAs,such as expropriation,non-discriminatory treatment,fair and equitable treat-ment,and prevent them from abusing their regulatory power while safeguarding the host states'space to regulate for environment,so that states can take rational and effective measures to address environmental issues faced by mankind.
