[内容摘要] 常设仲裁法院的建立是国际仲裁发展中的里程碑，在历史上曾发挥了意义深远的作用，但一度陷入低谷。中国是《海牙公约》的原始缔约国，与该法院的关系也有一段曲折。法院现已获得了在联合国大会的观察员地位，将其工作纳入到联合国和平解决争端的体系中去；新制订的更具灵活性和普遍适用性的规则，使其具有更广泛的管辖权，为法院仲裁及其在和平解决国际争端中作用的发挥开拓了前景。

[Abstract] It was a milestone during the development of international arbitration when the Permanent Court of Arbitration was founded in 1900, which had produced profound affection at its beginning times and then plunged into the bottom of its cause. As one of the original Party States to the Hague Conventions, China resumed its normal relationship with the Court at the end of 1980s. The Court has gained the permanent observer status at the UN Assembly and integrated itself into the United Nations system of peaceful settlement of international disputes. Its new flexible and universally applicable procedural rules enlarge its jurisdiction and are conducive to its greater performance in the future.
