This article examines the application of ARSIWA’s provisions on attribution of conduct to a State in international investment law and arbitration. In particular, it critically analyses the rules of attribution of conduct codified in ARSIWA Articles 4 (conduct of organs of a State), 5 (conduct of persons or entities exercising elements of governmental authority), 7 (excess of authority or contravention of instructions) and 8 (conduct directed or controlled by a State). A central message of the present contribution pertains to the methodological demand for an inclusive perspective by adjudicators as to the public international law dimension of investor-State dispute settlement and the direct applicability therein of ARSIWA’s customary rules on attribution.

将行为归于国家

本文探讨了 ARSIWA 关于将行为归于国家的规定在国际投资法和仲裁中的应用。特别是，它批判性地分析了 ARSIWA 第 4 条（国家机关的行为）、第 5 条（行使政府权力要素的个人或实体的行为）、第 7 条（越权或违反指示）中规定的行为归属规则和 8（由国家指挥或控制的行为）。本文稿的一个核心信息是，裁判员在方法论上要求对投资者与国家争端解决的国际公法层面以及 ARSIWA 的归属习惯规则在其中的直接适用具有包容性的观点。
