论空间探索商业化时代国际投资协定的适用

Application of International Investment Treaties in the Era of Commercialization of Space Exploration

  • 摘要: 空间探索进入商业化时代,越来越多私人投资者积极参与各类空间投资活动。然而,因国际投资法以及国际公法中共同存在的制度供给短缺问题,许多空间投资活动几乎无法得到现有国际投资协定的有效保障。具体而言,在国际投资协定中,合格投资的满足存在不确定性,实体待遇条款难以满足空间投资活动的现实需求。在国际公法中,空气空间和外层空间都存在制度不够清晰、东道国对具体空间活动的管辖权不明等问题。这些制度供给上的缺失也是国际投资法难以有效保障空间投资活动的深层原因。各国应重视国际投资协定与国际公法的联动关系,并尽快在制度供给层面予以完善,以此实现对各类空间投资活动的有效保障。

     

    Abstract: As space exploration enters the era of commercialization, an increasing number of private investors are actively participating in various space investment activities. However, due to the systemic deficiencies present in both international investment law and public international law, many space investment activities are effectively left without adequate protection under existing international investment treaties. Specifically, within international investment treaties, the uncertainty in the satisfaction of qualified investments and the inability of substantive treatment clauses to meet the practical needs of space investment activities are notable shortcomings. In public international law, issues such as unclear jurisdiction over specific space activities by host countries in both airspace and outer space further compound the problem of unclear regulatory frameworks. These deficiencies also hinder the effective protection of space investment activities under international investment law. The international community should prioritize the interplay between international investment agreements and public international law, promptly improve systemic deficiencies, and thereby achieve effective protection for various space investment activities.
