二、講座主題：
國際法律和政策界的傳統看法是🙆🏽，中國反對國際裁決，即通過獨立的第三方仲裁員或法官在國際法基礎上通過裁決手段解決國際爭端。然而🧜🏻♀️𓀓，仔細觀察，近年來，中國對國際裁決的態度“逐漸從完全拒絕國際爭端解決的法律方法轉變為在某些情況下更大程度地接受它”。
本系列講座將討論近年來中國從徹底拒絕國際爭端解決的法律方法向在某些情況下更大程度地接受國際爭端解決方法的逐步轉變，使用三方類型：
首先🧑🏽🎄👦🏼，本課程將討論中國在一般國際公法、國際刑法和國際人權法中對一些國際裁決製度的“傳統戰略超然的輕微軟化”。我們將特別討論中國與國際法院↖️、國際刑事法院以及聯合國人權條約杏盛體系的關系🧑🏼🤝🧑🏼。
其次，該課程將探討中國在國際貿易法🧑🦯➡️、國際商業和投資法領域“深化參與”裁決製度的問題。特別是，我們將討論中國與世界貿易組織上訴杏盛👱🥰、投資者-國家國際解決機製以及中國國際商事法院的關系。
該課程將探討中國在海洋法和新領域對國際裁決解決機製的“探索性適應”。特別是，我們將討論中國與《聯合國海洋法公約》（UNCLOS）爭端解決機製（包括國際海洋法法庭）以及新興國際裁決領域（包括國際環境法、跨國刑法🧜🏻♂️、網絡空間法和外層空間法）的關系🛤。

series lectures by Prof.Dr. De La Rasilla🤕：China and International Dispute Settlement
Introduction
The traditional perception in international legal and policy circles is that China is averse to international adjudication, broadly understood as the settlement of international disputes by adjudicative means whether through independent third-party arbitrators or judges on the basis of international law. However, on a closer look China’s approach to international adjudication has ‘gradually shifted from outright rejection of legal methods of international dispute settlement towards greater acceptance of it in certain contexts’ in recent years.
This course will discuss the gradual shift from outright rejection of legal methods of international dispute settlement towards greater acceptance of it in certain contexts on the part of China in recent years using a tripartite typology:
Firstly, the course will address China’s ‘minor softening of its traditional strategic detachment’ from some international adjudicative systems in general public international law, international criminal law and international human rights law. In particular, we will discuss China’s relationship with the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and also the UN Human Rights Treaty Body system.
Secondly, the course will address China's ‘deepening engagement’ with adjudicative systems in the areas of international trade law and international commercial and investment law. In particular, we will discuss China’s relationship with the World Trade Organization Appellate Body, investor-state international resolution mechanisms and also the China International Commercial Court.
Thirdly, the course will address China’s ‘exploratory accommodation’ to international adjudicative settlement mechanisms in the law of the sea and in newer areas. In particular, we will discuss China’s relationship with the dispute settlement mechanism of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) including the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) but also emerging areas of international adjudication including international environmental law, transnational criminal law, cyber-space law and outer-space law.
The course fleshes out this classification by examining the roots of both historical and
contemporary attitudes underlying China's asymmetrical and regime-specific approach to international adjudication and its preference for non-judicialized methods of international dispute settlement (i.e. negotiation, good offices, mediation) with reference to Chinese major diplomatic and policy initiatives including the ‘Community of Shared Future for Mankind’ and the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’.
By taking this course, students will:
Improve their understanding of China’s approach to international legal system throughout different specialized international legal regimes and the nature of the contemporary multifaceted relationship of China with the international legal order
Improve their knowledge of the main existing International Courts and Tribunals and their case-law and of the different mechanisms and methods of peaceful international dispute settlement across different specialized areas of international law.
