深圳律师参加联合国国际贸易法委员会第三工作组第51届会议

2025年2月17日至19日，深圳律师谭岳奇作为观察员之一参与联合国国际贸易法委员会（UNCITRAL，以下简称“贸法会”）第三工作组第51届会议第一部分，参与讨论投资者与国家争端解决机制改革的有关问题。

基于2017年贸法会第50届会议内容，贸法会赋予第三工作组广泛的任务，致力于推进对投资者与国家争端解决（ISDS）进行可行的改革工作。第34届到第37届会议，工作组确定并讨论有关投资者与国家间争端解决机制的问题。第38届到第48届会议，工作组审议投资者与国家间争端解决机制改革的具体解决方案。在2024年第57届会议上，贸法会原则上通过《国际投资争端解决咨询中心章程》，并进一步承认咨询中心的运作需要更多准备工作。

本次第三工作组会议主要审议了关于国际投资争端解决咨询中心（Advisory Centre on International Investment Dispute Resolution）运作的首届会议摘要，以及关于投资者-国家争端解决机制（ISDS）改革的多边文书草案。

第三工作组第51届会议分两部分举行，第二部分将于2025年4月7日至11日继续在纽约联合国总部进行。

深圳市律师协会坚持胸怀天下的国际化发展理念，致力于深化国际法律交流与合作，鼓励深圳律师积极参与国际法律规则的制定与完善，希望越来越多的深圳律师能够投身于国际法律实务中，共同推动国际法律体系的持续发展。

Tan Yueqi(Vincent) Participates in the 51st session of Working Group III (Investor-State Dispute Settlement Reform) of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL)

From February 17 to 19, 2025, Tan Yueqi(Vincent) from Shenzhen, as one of the observers, participates in the 51st Session of Working Group III of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”) to discuss issues related to the reform of the investor-state dispute settlement.

At its fiftieth session in 2017, the Commission entrusted Working Group III with a broad mandate to work on the possible reform of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS). From its thirty-fourth to thirty-seventh session, the Working Group identified and discussed concerns regarding ISDS and considered that reform was desirable in light of the identified concerns. From its thirty-eighth to forty-eighth session, the Working Group considered concrete solutions for ISDS reform. At its fifty-seventh session in 2024, the Commission adopted the Statute of the Advisory Centre on International Investment Dispute Resolution in principle and further acknowledged that the operationalization of the Advisory Centre would require further preparatory work.

During the first part of the session, the summary of the operationalization of the Advisory Centre on International Investment Dispute Resolution is presented for discussion and exchange of views. The Working Group also continues its deliberations on the multilateral instrument on ISDS reform.

The 51st session of the Working Group III is held in two parts and the second part of which will continue from 7 to 11 April 2025 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The Shenzhen Lawyers Association adheres to the international development philosophy of embracing the world with a broad vision, dedicates itself to deepening international legal exchanges and cooperation, and encourages Shenzhen lawyers to actively participate in the formulation and refinement of international legal rules. We hope that an increasing number of Shenzhen lawyers will engage in international legal practice, jointly promoting the continuous development of the international legal system.
