Abstract:Over the past two decades,judicial cooperation within the SCO has expanded from security and counter-terrorism to commercial law. Given the limited number of specific cooperation mechanisms in commercial law,existing tools for global and regional cooperation in this area,including those within other international organisations that overlap with the SCO,serve as essential references for analysing the development of the SCO in this field. At the global level,mechanisms such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods,the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents,the Washington Convention within the arbitration industry,and the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization have laid the groundwork for commercial law cooperation within the SCO. At the regional level,mechanisms such as the model laws of the Commonwealth of Independent States,the Kyiv Protocol,and the courts of the Eurasian Economic Union have also contributed to commercial law cooperation within the SCO. However,further collaboration among member states is still needed due to the need for systematic integration and incomplete coverage among these mechanisms. As a significant driving force in the region’s economic activities,China possesses advantages in terms of economic level,business environment,and regional influence. Therefore,China can contribute its wisdom and provide Chinese solutions to the SCO’s commercial law cooperation by formulating new rules and other means.
