Summary

Introduction

Most investment treaties include a dispute-resolution clause presenting the parties with a range of options for arbitration, the two most common of which are (i) arbitration under the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of other States, done at Washington on 18 March 1965 (ICSID Convention), and (ii) arbitration under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Arbitration Rules (the UNCITRAL Rules).

Much has been said about the practice and procedure of arbitrations conducted under the auspices of ICSID. ICSID decisions are published. ICSID makes available on its website a list of pending and past cases. There are detailed commentaries on the ICSID Convention and cases decided thereunder. Practice guides to ICSID arbitration have been produced by specialists. ICSID recently released a report of statistics about all cases it has ever administered. The ICSID website contains a bibliography of 648 publications about ICSID (and two items about investor–State arbitration under the UNCITRAL Rules).
