''Ex aequo et bono'' (Latin for "according to the right and good" or "from equity and conscience") is a phrase derived from Latin that is used as a legal term of art. In the context of arbitration, it refers to the power of arbitrators to dispense with consideration of the law but consider solely what they consider to be fair and equitable in the case at hand. Article 38(2) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) provides that the court may decide cases ''ex aequo et bono'' only if the parties agree.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statute of the Court )〕 In 1984, the ICJ decided a case using "equitable criteria" in creating a boundary in the Gulf of Maine for Canada and the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Case concerning delimitation of the maritime boundary in the Gulf of Maine Area )〕 Article 33 of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law's Arbitration Rules (1976)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules )〕 provides that the arbitrators shall consider only the applicable law unless the arbitral agreement allows the arbitrators to consider ''ex aequo et bono'', or amiable compositeur, instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Article 33 – Applicable law, amiable compositeur )〕 This rule is also expressed in many national and subnational arbitration laws such as section 22 of the Commercial Arbitration Act 1984 (NSW). On the other hand, the constituent treaty of the Eritrea–Ethiopia Claims Commission explicitly forbids the body from interpreting ''ex aequo et bono''. ==See also== *Equity (law) – similar concept in common law jurisdictions *Lex mercatoria 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ex aequo et bono」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
