摘　　要：2020年3月11日,世界卫生组织宣布COVID-19疫情构成国际大流行,截止目前,COVID-19病毒已造成全球几千万人感染。各国为应对COVID-19采取了各类防控措施和救市措施,而这类措施可能会造成境内外国投资者利益受损。未来,投资者可能会根据两国间的双边投资协定诉请该类措施违反征收、公平公正待遇、充分保护与安全国民待遇条款的相关规定并进行索赔。然而,针对COVID-19的措施仍要持续一段时间,对可能到来的投资仲裁风险,东道国应未雨绸缪,探索免责抗辩路径。目前,具有可行性的抗辩路径有三种:基于条约例外条款的抗辩;基于东道国警察权的抗辩;以及基于国际习惯法之《国家对国际不法行为的责任条款草案》规定的不可抗力、危难、危急情况解除行为不法性进行抗辩。On March 11,2020,the World Health Organization declared the covid-19 outbreak an international pandemic.Up to now,covid-19 virus has caused nearly 10 million people worldwide infection.In response to covid-19,various countries have taken various prevention and control measures and rescue measures,which may damage the interests of domestic and foreign investors.In the future,investors may sue for such measures in accordance with the bilateral investment agreements between the two countries for violation of the provisions on expropriation,fair and equitable treatment,full protection and security of national treatment,and make claims.However,the measures against covid-19 still need to continue for a period of time.The host country should take precautions against the possible risks of investment arbitration and explore the path of exemption defense.At present,there are three feasible defense paths:the defense based on the treaty exception clause;the defense based on the police power of the host country;and the defense based on the illegality of the act of force majeure,distress and necessity stipulated in the draft articles on the responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts.
