简介
从19世纪中叶至20世纪中叶，中国与国际法之间的关系是复杂而多方面的。在国际会议和国际机制中编纂有利于自身的国际法规范，是这段历史时期内中国国际法历史和实践的一个重要方面。从1899年和1907年两次海牙和会的创设，到国际联盟的兴起和衰落，再到联合国的成立，中国的参与和倡议推动了全球法律秩序在诸多方面制定了更明确的规则。这些规则包括领土完整、主权平等和自治、和平解决争端以及限制使用武力等内容。
一方面，尽管遭受着帝国主义压迫和经济剥削，中国外交官和法学家仍然奉行保持接触的战略。保持接触战略往往能产生有意义的影响。另一方面，中国的努力所面临的诸多障碍也表明了这一时期国际法律秩序的不平等和霸权特征，这种特征在冷战初期依然存在。国际法编纂虽然是一个跨国现象，但中国的参与是确保国际法的编纂能取得成果并且保持其前景的一个关键因素。
Chinese encounters with international law from the mid-19th through mid-20th centuries were complex and many-sided. The effort to codify favorable norms in international conferences and institutions was one important dimension of this history. From the innovations of the Hague Conferences to the rise and collapse of the League of Nations, and then its replacement by the United Nations, Chinese proposals helped to push forward more clearly defined rules on a number of aspects of global legal order. These aims reflected national objectives such as territorial integrity, sovereign equality and autonomy, peaceful resolution of disputes, and the limitation of the use of force.
Despite ongoing experiences of imperialism and economic exploitation, Chinese diplomats and lawyers pursued strategies of engagement that frequently had meaningful impact. On the other hand, the many obstacles facing these efforts also demonstrated the unequal and hegemonic character of the international legal order of this period, which remained the case at the dawn of the Cold War. While codification of international law was very much a transnational phenomenon, Chinese participation in this project was a key factor helping to ensure its achievements and future prospects.
