学科贡献

国际法研究所长期以来扎实推进学科建设，科研实力和综合影响力居于国内领先地位。本所国际公法优势学科依托国际公法和国际人权法两个研究室，涵盖国际法基础理论、国际海洋法、人权法、条约法、国际组织法等多个专业方向。国际经济法重点学科依托国际经济法研究室，涵盖国际贸易法(包括WTO法)、国际金融法、国际投资法、国际环境法、海商法等多个专业方向。国际私法学科依托国际私法研究室，涵盖冲突法、国际民事诉讼、国际商事仲裁等多个专业方向。自成立至今，各学科均形成了规范完备的学科体系和科学合理的研究梯队。

作为国际法研究所的前身，法学研究所国际法组和国际法研究室是改革开放后国内最早恢复国际法专业研究的团队之一，为中国国际法学的奠基作出了重要贡献。在国际法基本理论方面，早在20世纪60年代，本所学者就出版了两部代表性译著：彼•斯•罗马什金等主编，刘楠来、魏家驹等译的《国家和法的理论》(法律出版社1964年版)和格·伊·童金著，王可菊等译的《国际法理论问题》(世界知识出版社1965年版)。他们首次向国内学界介绍了前苏联的国际法基本理论和与国际法发展动向相关的代表性成果，是国际法基本理论在中国的早期引入者。

海洋法领域。1973年12月第三次联合国海洋法会议在美国纽约拉开序幕，本所国际公法学者全程跟踪会议进程，积极参与有关部门组织的讨论，为与会中国代表团建言献策，成为我国海洋法研究领域的主要先行者。苏联学者拉扎列夫著，吴云琪、刘楠来、王可菊译的《现代国际海洋法》(天津人民出版社1981年版)，是国内最早介绍国际海洋法发展的成果。1986年刘楠来、王可菊与柳子亚、虞源澄、倪轩等合著的《国际海洋法》(法律出版社1986年版)对国际海洋法有关问题作了全面系统的论述，成为当时国内最全面、系统的国际海洋法专著，联合国出版的《海洋法公报》将该书列为国际海洋法领域的重要中文著作。此后，刘楠来等合译的《各国专属经济区和大陆架法规选编》(法律出版社1988年版)更是被政府机关和各大院校普遍作为参考资料。2008年9月，王翰灵副研究员牵头成立了国际法研究中心(2009年后改为国际法研究所)海洋法与海洋事务研究中心；2015年10月，该中心成为中国社会科学院院属中心。王翰灵副研究员参编联合国海洋管理英文教材《海洋活动管理的生态系统方法》(联合国出版，2011年版)。

航空法领域。1961年、1963年和1971年，国际社会先后通过东京、海牙和蒙特利尔等三个“反劫机”公约，中国是上述三个公约的缔约国。1983年卓长仁等将民航296号班机劫持到韩国，引起举国上下震动，各方面对如何才能把他们引渡回国加以惩处十分关注，而当时国内却没有这方面的完整理论。1985年赵维田的专著《论三个反劫机公约》(群众出版社1985年版)开创了国内研究航空刑法的先河，弥补了国内劫持航空器国际犯罪研究的空白。此后，赵维田又相继在台湾地区和大陆出版了两版《国际航空法》，是国内首部系统涵盖国际航空法学各个分支领域的学术著作，标志着国内学者开始构建航空法理论体系。

国际刑法领域。20世纪80年代，国际刑法作为一个独立的法律部门和独立的法律学科，其地位尚有争议。在林欣的《国际法中的刑事管辖权》(法律出版社1988年版)出版之前，国内既没有国际刑法的系统性研究成果，也鲜见就国际刑法开展专门研究的成果。林欣的著作一定意义上填补了我国国际法研究领域的学科空白，堪称国际刑法研究的奠基之作。

人权法领域。中国社会科学院是在社科领域较早开展人权研究的学术机构之一。1991年6月，法学研究所主持召开全国第一个人权理论研讨会。同年，由法学研究所副所长刘海年任团长，信春鹰、李林、林地等参加的首个人权考察团赴北美考察，在国际上引起广泛关注。1991年，中国社会科学院人权研究中心成立，成为中国大陆成立的第一家人权研究机构，由王家福、刘海年研究员担任联合主任。中心依托法学研究所和国际法研究所的研究力量，在开展人权理论与实践研究、促进人权教育和人权国际交流方面一直发挥着积极、重要的作用。柳华文研究员现任该中心执行主任。为加强国际人权法学科研究，国际法研究所于2009年成立国际人权法研究室，集中了一批以人权法为主要研究领域的优秀学者。目前人权研究已经形成特色鲜明、成果丰硕、国际法与国内法相结合、理论与实践相结合、老中青队伍有机结合的良好局面。

国际经济法作为国际法专业的一个新兴分支，在法学研究所国际法研究室时期并未作为一门独立的学科而存在，但这没有影响到前辈学人对国际经济法学理论和实践的不懈探索。他们在国际经济法重大理论问题上勇于突破，锐意创新，对中国国际经济法学的形成和发展作出了重要而独特的贡献，也诞生了一大批在国内外享有盛誉的知名专家，包括芮沐(研究领域为国际公法、国际经济法，曾任法学研究所副所长)、盛愉(研究领域为国际公法、国际经济法，曾任法学研究所副所长)、徐鹤皋(研究领域为国际私法、国际经济法，曾任法学研究所国际法研究室主任，后任司法部中国法律事务中心主任)、李泽锐(研究领域为国际经济法)、任继圣(研究领域为国际私法、国际经济法，曾任法学研究所国际法研究室副主任，后任司法部中国法律事务中心主任)、魏家驹(研究领域为国际私法、海商法)、姚壮(研究领域为国际私法、海商法，后调任外交学院)、陶正华(研究领域为国际公法、国际经济法，曾任法学研究所国际法研究室主任)等，可谓群星璀璨。

中国的国际私法学科也经历了一个从无到有的过程。1949年之后，虽有大学开设国际私法课程，但授课内容援用当时苏联的国际私法体系，学习和研究国际私法时参考的也是苏联国际私法学者的著作，还没有中国学者自己编写的教材。1981年，姚壮和任继圣共同编写了新中国第一部国际私法教材《国际私法基础》(中国社会科学出版社1981年版)并发表多篇学术论文，是新中国国际私法研究的先驱。香港、澳门回归后，中国区际法律冲突问题日益增多，沈涓的专著《中国区际冲突法研究》(中国政法大学出版社1999年版)通过分析现代中国区际法律冲突的状况和调整法律冲突的障碍，提出了若干调整区际法律冲突的方法，对中国未来建立自己的区际冲突法律体系具有较大的启发意义。

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.
