五、结语
亚投行的制裁机制借鉴了传统多边开发银行制裁机制的做法并在此基础上作了改进,而且更符合亚投行自身的特点,在一定程度上回应了国际社会的关切。亚投行始终坚持不干涉内政的原则,其制裁机制同样也不例外。通过文中的分析可以发现,亚投行制裁机制始终保持在商业范围之内,而且亚投行对其制裁机制作了详尽的规范,涉及可能发生的各种问题,可以看出亚投行在此方面所做的努力,也可以看出亚投行的责任与担当。但亚投行的制裁机制也存在一定的问题,比如为了防止逃避制裁,亚投行可将制裁对象扩大到任何实体,这容易导致国际社会对亚投行权力过大的质疑;再比如,亚投行增加了对“资源滥用”和“盗窃”的制裁,这实际上属于亚投行制裁机制的兜底条款。这样规定体现出亚投行对其制裁机制详尽性的考虑以及对保障亚投行健康运行的努力,但同时也导致了一定的不确定性,从而容易在实践中引起纠纷。另外,亚投行制裁机制的一审程序中不举行听证会,只在上诉程序中可酌情举行,这容易导致双方证据能力的不平等,甚至不公正的裁决,而且还可能导致案件上诉率的增加,等等。任何事物不会在其刚产生的时候就尽善尽美,亚投行作为一个新生事物,在其运行过程中必然会出现各种各样的问题,但亚投行始终以开放的态度接受外来的鞭策和批评。亚投行在完善自身制裁机制的同时积极申请加入《共同执行协定》,以期与其他多边开发银行联合对禁止行为进行制裁,另外还积极与其成员政府合作,从而更好地保障多边开发银行目标的实现。我们可以期待亚投行与其他多边开发银行更广泛的合作和交流,以使亚投行在国际金融秩序中发挥更大的作用。
Research on the Sanctions Mechanism of AIIB
CHEN Yundong SONG Ziwen
Abstract: The AIIB has made special regulations on its sanctions mechanism, which are mainly reflected in the AIIB Policy on Prohibited Practices and the AIIB Directive on Policy on Prohibited Practices.The AIIB Articles of Agreement can be regarded as the legal source of the sanctions mechanism of the AIIB.In addition, the AIIB has other normative documents that respond to and support its sanctions mechanism.Through the analysis of the targets, scope and measures of the sanctions policy of the AIIB, the AIIB sanctions mechanism can be more clearly positioned.The sanctions mechanism of AIIB mainly includes investigations procedure and sanctions procedure, in which the sanctions procedure is two-level sanctions procedure, namely the first instance procedure and the appeal procedure respectively, and the decision of the appeal procedure is final.For an effective sanctions decision or decision, if the investigator or defendant discovers a new fact, he may apply for a retrial.In addition, the AIIB sanctions mechanism also provides procedures for temporary suspension, reconciliation and cross-debarment, which is conducive to the improvement and healthy operation of the AIIB sanctions mechanism.
