Summary: | Today, ICSID is the acknowledged world leader in investor-State
dispute settlement. It has administered more than 70% of all known
international investment proceedings. Over the past year alone, ICSID
administered 258 cases, the most in any single year of its history. These
cases are administered in every region of the world, and are decided by
a diverse international group of specialist arbitrators, conciliators and
ad hoc committee members. ICSID’s case administration is complemented by its leading role in
training parties about international investment dispute settlement and
in publishing cutting-edge legal scholarship on developments in the
field. This systemic perspective enhances ICSID’s ability not only to
provide the most effective administrative service, but also to envision
and implement continuous improvement of investment dispute
settlement.
