學科貢獻
國際法研究所長期以來扎實推進學科建設,科研實力和綜合影響力居于國內領先地位。本所國際公法優勢學科依托國際公法和國際人權法兩個研究室,涵蓋國際法基礎理論、國際海洋法、人權法、條約法、國際組織法等多個專業方向。國際經濟法重點學科依托國際經濟法研究室,涵蓋國際貿易法(包括WTO法)、國際金融法、國際投資法、國際環境法、海商法等多個專業方向。國際私法學科依托國際私法研究室,涵蓋沖突法、國際民事訴訟、國際商事仲裁等多個專業方向。自成立至今,各學科均形成了規范完備的學科體系和科學合理的研究梯隊。
作為國際法研究所的前身,法學研究所國際法組和國際法研究室是改革開放后國內最早恢復國際法專業研究的團隊之一,為中國國際法學的奠基作出了重要貢獻。在國際法基本理論方面,早在20世紀60年代,本所學者就出版了兩部代表性譯著:彼?斯?羅馬什金等主編,劉楠來、魏家駒等譯的《國家和法的理論》(法律出版社1964年版)和格·伊·童金著,王可菊等譯的《國際法理論問題》(世界知識出版社1965年版)。他們首次向國內學界介紹了前蘇聯的國際法基本理論和與國際法發展動向相關的代表性成果,是國際法基本理論在中國的早期引入者。
海洋法領域。1973年12月第三次聯合國海洋法會議在美國紐約拉開序幕,本所國際公法學者全程跟蹤會議進程,積極參與有關部門組織的討論,為與會中國代表團建言獻策,成為我國海洋法研究領域的主要先行者。蘇聯學者拉扎列夫著,吳云琪、劉楠來、王可菊譯的《現代國際海洋法》(天津人民出版社1981年版),是國內最早介紹國際海洋法發展的成果。1986年劉楠來、王可菊與柳子亞、虞源澄、倪軒等合著的《國際海洋法》(法律出版社1986年版)對國際海洋法有關問題作了全面系統的論述,成為當時國內最全面、系統的國際海洋法專著,聯合國出版的《海洋法公報》將該書列為國際海洋法領域的重要中文著作。此后,劉楠來等合譯的《各國專屬經濟區和大陸架法規選編》(法律出版社1988年版)更是被政府機關和各大院校普遍作為參考資料。2008年9月,王翰靈副研究員牽頭成立了國際法研究中心(2009年后改為國際法研究所)海洋法與海洋事務研究中心;2015年10月,該中心成為中國社會科學院院屬中心。王翰靈副研究員參編聯合國海洋管理英文教材《海洋活動管理的生態系統方法》(聯合國出版,2011年版)。
航空法領域。1961年、1963年和1971年,國際社會先后通過東京、海牙和蒙特利爾等三個“反劫機”公約,中國是上述三個公約的締約國。1983年卓長仁等將民航296號班機劫持到韓國,引起舉國上下震動,各方面對如何才能把他們引渡回國加以懲處十分關注,而當時國內卻沒有這方面的完整理論。1985年趙維田的專著《論三個反劫機公約》(群眾出版社1985年版)開創了國內研究航空刑法的先河,彌補了國內劫持航空器國際犯罪研究的空白。此后,趙維田又相繼在臺灣地區和大陸出版了兩版《國際航空法》,是國內首部系統涵蓋國際航空法學各個分支領域的學術著作,標志著國內學者開始構建航空法理論體系。
國際刑法領域。20世紀80年代,國際刑法作為一個獨立的法律部門和獨立的法律學科,其地位尚有爭議。在林欣的《國際法中的刑事管轄權》(法律出版社1988年版)出版之前,國內既沒有國際刑法的系統性研究成果,也鮮見就國際刑法開展專門研究的成果。林欣的著作一定意義上填補了我國國際法研究領域的學科空白,堪稱國際刑法研究的奠基之作。
人權法領域。中國社會科學院是在社科領域較早開展人權研究的學術機構之一。1991年6月,法學研究所主持召開全國第一個人權理論研討會。同年,由法學研究所副所長劉海年任團長,信春鷹、李林、林地等參加的首個人權考察團赴北美考察,在國際上引起廣泛關注。1991年,中國社會科學院人權研究中心成立,成為中國大陸成立的第一家人權研究機構,由王家福、劉海年研究員擔任聯合主任。中心依托法學研究所和國際法研究所的研究力量,在開展人權理論與實踐研究、促進人權教育和人權國際交流方面一直發揮著積極、重要的作用。柳華文研究員現任該中心執行主任。為加強國際人權法學科研究,國際法研究所于2009年成立國際人權法研究室,集中了一批以人權法為主要研究領域的優秀學者。目前人權研究已經形成特色鮮明、成果豐碩、國際法與國內法相結合、理論與實踐相結合、老中青隊伍有機結合的良好局面。
國際經濟法作為國際法專業的一個新興分支,在法學研究所國際法研究室時期并未作為一門獨立的學科而存在,但這沒有影響到前輩學人對國際經濟法學理論和實踐的不懈探索。他們在國際經濟法重大理論問題上勇于突破,銳意創新,對中國國際經濟法學的形成和發展作出了重要而獨特的貢獻,也誕生了一大批在國內外享有盛譽的知名專家,包括芮沐(研究領域為國際公法、國際經濟法,曾任法學研究所副所長)、盛愉(研究領域為國際公法、國際經濟法,曾任法學研究所副所長)、徐鶴皋(研究領域為國際私法、國際經濟法,曾任法學研究所國際法研究室主任,后任司法部中國法律事務中心主任)、李澤銳(研究領域為國際經濟法)、任繼圣(研究領域為國際私法、國際經濟法,曾任法學研究所國際法研究室副主任,后任司法部中國法律事務中心主任)、魏家駒(研究領域為國際私法、海商法)、姚壯(研究領域為國際私法、海商法,后調任外交學院)、陶正華(研究領域為國際公法、國際經濟法,曾任法學研究所國際法研究室主任)等,可謂群星璀璨。
中國的國際私法學科也經歷了一個從無到有的過程。1949年之后,雖有大學開設國際私法課程,但授課內容援用當時蘇聯的國際私法體系,學習和研究國際私法時參考的也是蘇聯國際私法學者的著作,還沒有中國學者自己編寫的教材。1981年,姚壯和任繼圣共同編寫了新中國第一部國際私法教材《國際私法基礎》(中國社會科學出版社1981年版)并發表多篇學術論文,是新中國國際私法研究的先驅。香港、澳門回歸后,中國區際法律沖突問題日益增多,沈涓的專著《中國區際沖突法研究》(中國政法大學出版社1999年版)通過分析現代中國區際法律沖突的狀況和調整法律沖突的障礙,提出了若干調整區際法律沖突的方法,對中國未來建立自己的區際沖突法律體系具有較大的啟發意義。
Academic Achievements and Contributions
The Institute of International Law has always been firmly promoting the building of academic programs, and is in a leading position in China in research capacity and comprehensive influence.The program of public international law, which has been designated as a leading program by CASS and structured on the basis of the two research departments of public international law and international human rights law, coverssuch specialized areas as the fundamental theories of international law, international law of the sea, human rights law, treaty law, and the law international organizations.The program of international economic law, which has been designated as a key program by CASS and structured on the basis of the research department ofinternational economic law, covers such specialized areas as international trade law (including WTO law), international financial law, international investment law, international environmental law, and maritime law. The program ofprivate international law, structured on the basis of the research department of private international law, covers such specialized areas as international conflict of law, international civil litigation, and international commercial arbitration. Since the foundation of the Institute of International Law, all the academic programs have establisheda well-structured academic system and a highly capable and solid team of researchers.
The Research Group of International Law/the Research Department of International Law of the Institute of Law, CASS, as the predecessors of the Centre for International Law/Institute of International Law of CASS, has been one of the earliest organizations to resume academic research on international law in China since the reform and opening-up, and had made significant contributions to the establishment of international legal scholarship in China. With respect to the research onfundamental theories of international law, as early as in the 1960s, scholars working at the Research Group of International Lawhad translated and published two representative works of international law: The Theory of State and Law edited by Petr Semenovich Romashkinet et al. (translated by Profs. Liu Nanlai and Wei Jiaju et al, and published by the Law Press China in 1964); and Grigorij I. Tunkin's Theory of International Law (translated by Wang Keju et al., and published by the World Affairs Press in 1965). These translated books introduced the fundamental theories of international law of the former Soviet Union and its representative achievements relating to the developments of international law to the Chinese academia, and served as the pioneer in introducing researches on the fundamental theories of international law into China.
In the field of the law of the sea, since the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea started in December 1973, the international law scholars of the Institute of Lawhad closely followed the process of the conference, actively participated in the relevant discussions, and contributed opinions and suggestions to the Chinese delegation,thus becoming the main pioneers in the field of the law of the sea studies in China. Profs. Wu Yunqi, Liu Nanlai and Wang Keju translatedtheSoviet scholar Lazarev'sThe Modern International Law of the Sea (Tianjin People's Publishing House, 1981), which was the earliestintroductory work to the development of the international law of the sea in China. In 1986, Profs. Liu Nanlai and Wang Keju, in cooperation with scholars from other institutions, co-authored the book International Law of the Sea (Law Press China, 1986) to make a comprehensive and systematic exposition of issues related to the international law of the sea, which became the most comprehensive and systematic volume on the international law of the sea in China at that time, and was listed in the Law of the Sea Bulletin published by the United Nations as an important Chinese works in the field of international law of the sea.Selected Laws and Regulations on Exclusive Economic Zones and Continental Shelf of Different Countries (Law Press China, 1988),translated and compiled by Prof. Liu Nanlai et. al.,has also been widely usedby Chinese authorities and universities as an important reference material. In 2008, Professor Wang Hanling played a leading role in establishing the Centre for the Law of the Sea and Ocean Affairs of then the Centre for International Law, which became a research centre directly under the leadership of CASS in 2015. Prof. Wang Hanling also participated in the compilation work of the United Nations' textbook Ecosystem Approaches to the Management of Ocean (United Nations, 2011).
In the field of aviation law, the international community successively adopted three conventions against hijacking of aircrafts in Tokyoin 1961, The Hague in 1963 and Montrealin 1971, to all of which China is a state party.In 1983, Zhuo Changren and others hijacked Flight CA296 to South Korea. The eventshocked the whole country and raised the question of how to bring the high-jackers back to China to face trial and punishment. However, there was no adequate understanding of and research on this issue at that time in China. In 1985, Prof. Zhao Weitian publishedthe book On Three Anti-hijacking Conventions (Mass Publishing House, 1985), initiating the study on criminal matters relating to aviation law in China and thus filled in the gaps in the research on the crimes of aircraft hijacking in the country.Prof. Zhao Weitian subsequently published two editions of International Aviation Law in Taiwan and Mainland China, respectively, which was the first academic works systematically covering various branches of international aviation law, thus marking the beginning of the construction of the theoretical system of aviation law by Chinese scholars.
In the 1980s, when it was still disputed whether international criminal law was a separate field of legal studies andan independent branch of international law, there was no systematic research on international criminal law, nor any noticeable research outcome on specific topics in this area in China, until Prof. Lin Xin published the book Criminal Jurisdiction in International Law (Law Press China, 1988). This book has in a sense filleda gap in the studies of international law in China, and therefore can be fairly regarded as the foundation work on international criminal law in China.
In the field of human rights law, CASS was one of the first academic institutions to carry out human rights research in China. In1991, the Institute of Law CASS convened the first nation-wide seminar on human rights theories, and dispatched the first academic delegation of human rights scholars to North America, with Prof. Liu Hainian, the Deputy Director of the Institute of Law, as the head, Profs. Xin Chunying, Li Lin and Lin Di as members. Their visit attracted wide international attention. In 1991, the CASS Center for Human Rights Studies was established, with Profs. Wang Jiafu and Liu Hainian as co-directors, which was the first human rights research institution in Mainland China.
Benefiting from the research capacity of CASSInstitute of Law and CASSInstitute of International Law, CASS Center for Human Rights Studies has been playing an active and important role in carrying out researches on theoretical and practical issues of human rights, and promoting human rights education and international exchanges on human rights. Prof. Liu Huawen is the current Executive Director of the Centre. In order to strengthen the research on international human rights law, the Institute of International Law established the Research Department of International Human Rights Law in 2009, bringing together a group of outstanding scholars in the field of human rights law. The studies on human rights law at the Institute of International Law have combined academic research and practical work, and international law and domestic law, and have a highly regarded status in China.
As a new branch of study in the field of international law, international economic law did not exist as an independent programduring the period of Research Department of International Law of CASSInstitute of Law. However, this did not prevent the first generation of international economic law scholars in the Department from vigorously exploring the theories and practice of international economic law. They had made great and unique contributions to the formation and development of the discipline of international economic law in China by conductinggroundbreaking and innovative researcheson major theoretical issues of international economic law. There had been a number of renowned experts with domestic and international reputations, including Prof. Rui Mu, andProf. Sheng Yu, whohad been the deputy director of the Institute of Law and did research in the fields of public international law and international economic law; Prof. Xu Hegao, who was the head of the Research Department of International Law, subsequently transferred to the Ministry of Justice to undertake the Directorship of China Legal Affairs Centre, and did research in the fields of private international law and international economic law; Prof. Li Zerui, who specialized in the research on international economic law; Prof. Ren Jisheng, who was the deputy head of the Research Department of International Law, subsequently transferred to the Ministry of Justice to undertake the Directorship of China Legal Affairs Centre, and did research in the fields of private international law and international economic law; Prof. Wei Jiaju, who did research in the fields of private international law and maritime law;Prof. Yao Zhuang, who did research in the fieldsof private international law and maritime law;Prof. Tao Zhenghua, who was the head of the Research Department of International Law, and did research in the fields of pubicinternational law and international economic law.
The discipline of private international law in China has also undergone a process of starting from scratch. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some Chinese universities offered courses of private international law, the contents of which were based on the private international law system of the Soviet Union at that time. The studies of private international law in China were also based on the textbooks and reference materials from the Soviet Union, without any books written by Chinese scholars in this field. In 1981, Profs. Yao Zhuang and Ren Jisheng co-authored the first textbook of private international law in China, Foundation of Private International Law (China Social Sciences Press, 1981) and published a number of articles in this field, thus becoming the pioneers ofthe study of private international law in China. After China resumed its sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao, problems of inter-regional conflict of laws within China have been increasing. Prof. Shen Jun's monograph Research on China's Inter-regional Conflict of Law (China University of Political Science and Law Press,1999) analyzes the situation of inter-regional conflict of laws in China and puts forward some thoughts regarding the regulation of those inter-regional conflict of laws, thereby making contributions to the establishment of a Chinese system of inter-regional conflict of laws in the future.

Publications and Other Research Achievements
Ever since they were still the Research Group of International Law of the Institute of Law, the research staff of the Institute of International Law have endeavored to conduct in-depth research and publish high-quality works in the field of international law. Especially in the era of Reform and Opening-up, the Institute of International Law and its predecessor, the Research Department of International Law of the Institute of Law, have persistently made extensive and in-depth studies in various fields of international law, and produced fruitful research outcomes.
By the end of 2018, the Institute of International Law had published more than 170 books and 40 translated books, more than 1,000 research articles and 300 translated articles. In addition, the researchers of the Institute of International Law have also undertaken a large number of analytical and advisory work with respect to the legislative and judicial practice in China. They have submitted over 300 proposals, reports or legal opinions regarding various legal issues to the central government of China, relevant government authorities and decision-making bodies, which have been highly valued and widely praised, some of them have been recognized by the leaders of the Chinese government and the Communist Party as significant to the legal and other related works in China. Theproposals, reports or legal opinions provided by the researchers of the Institute of International Law in their capacity of experts have covered such topics as the formulation and revision of international treaties and agreements, the drafting and revision of laws and regulations related to foreign affairs, emergency plans for or responses to major international political, diplomatic and legal events, reports submitted by China to international human rights bodies for consideration, and the handling of major international economic cases. Therefore, in addition to its role as a major research institution of international law in China, the Institute of International Law has also played the role of a think tank to the Chinese government and various authorities in the fields of construction of democracy and rule of law, protection and promotion of human rights, conduct of foreign affairs as well as in the field of international law in its broadest sense.
