Establishment of International Sports Arbitration System in China: Realistic Needs, Conditions and Specific Paths
- 1 Department of International Law, China Foreign Affairs University, Beijing, China
Abstract
Due to the lack of legislation on international sports arbitration institutions and arbitration rules in China, international sports arbitration activities usually lack direct legal support. However, as China successfully hosted the Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games successively, Beijing has become the only “ Double Olympic City ” in the history of the Olympic Games, contributing to the development of international sports arbitration. China has the experience in handling and resolving international sports disputes, and has a stronger motivation to promote and establish better international sports arbitration rules. In 2022, relevant Chinese institutions and organizations have successively passed the new Sports Law (Sports Law), Organizational Rules of the China Sports Arbitration Commission ( Draft for Comment ) (Organizational Rules) and Rules of Sports Arbitration ( Draft for Comment ) (Arbitration Rules), and the Chinese Sports Arbitration Rules . This is undoubtedly important progress in the integration of China ’ s sports arbitration rules with international rules, but it is still worthy of our in-depth consideration in terms of the required conditions, specific paths and supporting systems for the development of international sports arbitration in China.
