ABSTRACT This article examines themes associated with the role of arbitration and its interrelationship with the law generally. These include the extent to which parties to an arbitration agreement are free to choose the principles governing the procedural and substantive aspects of the arbitration. The article considers the circumstances in which such a choice may be affected or overridden by mandatory principles of law or court intervention, by the courts of the seat of arbitration or in enforcement proceedings in another jurisdiction. It identifies the potential tension between the interests of party and arbitral autonomy on the one hand, and the public policy which justifies court interventions in the arbitral process and governs enforcement of awards on the other. The tension has in a European context manifested itself recently in a marked dichotomy between the attitudes of European Union law to commercial arbitration and to bilateral investment treaty arbitration, presenting arbitrators and courts involved in the latter with potential dilemmas. It suggests that there is still scope for holistic development, recognizing the value attached to arbitration by the commercial community.

仲裁自主权和适用和压倒一切的法律

摘要 本文探讨了与仲裁的作用相关的主题及其与一般法律的相互关系。其中包括仲裁协议的当事人在多大程度上可以自由选择管辖仲裁程序和实体方面的原则。该条考虑了这种选择可能受到强制性法律原则或法院干预、仲裁地法院或其他司法管辖区的执行程序影响或推翻的情况。它一方面确定了当事人的利益和仲裁自主权之间的潜在紧张关系，另一方面确定了证明法院干预仲裁程序合理并管理裁决执行的公共政策。最近在欧洲背景下的紧张局势表现在欧盟法律对商业仲裁和双边投资条约仲裁的态度之间的明显二分法，使参与后者的仲裁员和法院面临潜在的困境。它表明仍有整体发展的空间，承认商界重视仲裁的价值。
