迪拜颁布法令间接撤销DIFC-LCIA仲裁中心（法令及翻译）

迪拜颁布法令间接撤销DIFC-LCIA仲裁中心

迪拜酋长于2021年9月14日颁布2021年第（34）号法令（以下简称“法令”），宣布撤销了迪拜国际金融中心仲裁院（DAI）和阿联酋海事仲裁中心。该法令的颁布，意味着迪拜间接撤销了DIFC-LCIA仲裁中心，单方终止了与LCIA的联营合作。

随着仲裁全球主义的发展，LCIA于2011年和2015年与毛里求斯和迪拜签署合作协议，建立联合的全新仲裁中心，开发非洲和中东地区的仲裁市场。与发达国家仲裁中心的联营合作，也被视为发展中国家仲裁发展的方式之一。但是随着发展中国家商业的扩张和仲裁的发展，其逐渐终止了与发达国家仲裁机构的合作，其终止方式主要分为两种。以伦敦国际仲裁院-毛里求斯国际仲裁中心（LCIA-MIAC）的终止为例，LCIA与毛里求斯政府于2018年达成双边协议，自此终止了双方2011年的合资协议，该方式的特征为“经双方合意的终止”。与LCIA-MIAC的终止方式相反，DIFC-LCIA的终止是迪拜单方以颁布法令的方式撤销了DAI（DIFC-LCIA运营协议的相对方），该法令使DIFC-LCIA的合作方不复存在，从而间接撤销了DIFC-LCIA。对于迪拜单方颁布法令的行为，LCIA称该法令是个意外，迪拜并未对其征求意愿，也并未提前告知相关法令的内容（“This Decree and its swift enactment came as a surprise to the LCIA. The LCIA was not consulted nor given notice of the Decree.”）。综前所述，联营仲裁中心的终止有两种方式：一种是各方另签署有关终止合作的双边协议，即合意的终止；另一种为合作一方单方颁布法令撤销其管辖范围内联营仲裁中心的运营机构，即单方的终止。由此可见，随着发展中国家的商业和仲裁的发展，发展中国家倾向于脱离发达国家仲裁中心的帮助，而建立其自身的仲裁中心。但是无论以何种方式终止联营仲裁中心，双方都需对联营仲裁中心已经受理的争议和未来可能发生的争议作出安排，迪拜就DIFC-LCIA至DIAC的转化规定了6个月的过渡期，并就以下事项作出规定：

迪拜酋长于2021年9月14日颁布2021年第（34）号法令（以下简称“法令”），宣布撤销了DAI和阿联酋海事仲裁中心，并将这两个仲裁中心的资产、雇员、资金和案件移交至迪拜国际仲裁中心（“DIAC”）。DIAC将成为迪拜唯一的重大国际仲裁机构，管理在迪拜国际金融中心（“DIFC”）和迪拜本土进行的所有仲裁。

就仲裁协议的有效性而言，法令第6条规定，在本法令生效之前签署的，约定在被撤销的仲裁中心进行仲裁的仲裁协议将视为有效的协议，除非当事人另有约定，DIAC将代替被撤销的仲裁中心继续审理并裁定仲裁协议项下的所有争议。

就仲裁地而言，《迪拜国际仲裁中心规则》第4条约定，如果当事人选择迪拜作为仲裁地，迪拜法院将有权审理与DIAC作出的裁决或采取的仲裁措施有关的任何索赔、申请或上诉；如果当事人选择DIFC作为仲裁地，或当事人未就仲裁地达成一致时仲裁地被默认为DIFC的情况下，DIFC法院将有权审理与与DIAC作出的裁决或采取的仲裁措施有关的任何索赔、申请或上诉。

然而，对于未来仲裁规则的适用，目前仍有疑惑。随着DIFC-LCIA仲裁中心的撤销，DIFC-LCIA的仲裁规则可能也会失效。迪拜政府目前正在咨询伦敦国际仲裁院（LCIA）的意见，确保仍能对采用DIFC-LCIA规则的现在或未来的案件进行高效地管理。

改革后的DIAC旨在促进替代性争议解决方式的适用和效率，并加强其作为全球仲裁中心的地位。DIAC分为三级组织结果：理事会、仲裁法院和行政机构。对于迪拜而言，法令将现有的仲裁机构简化整合成一个最新最先进的仲裁机构，这将进一步巩固迪拜作为中东和非洲地区国际仲裁中心的地位。
