INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR SETTLEMENT OF INVESTMENT DISPUTES, WASHINGTON DC
The ICSID is an international arbitration institution funded by the World Bank Group and established in 1966 for legal dispute resolution and conciliation between international investors and States. ICSID administers arbitrations under ICSID Convention Arbitration Rules as well as under other rules such as UNICTRAL Arbitration Rules and takes up ad-hoc investor-state and state-state cases.
The procedural rules for arbitration under the ICSID Convention may be used to settle disputes between an ICSID Contracting State—the term given to States that have ratified the ICSID Convention—and nationals of another Contracting State. The rules benefit from a robust enforcement mechanism, as Contracting States agree that an ICSID Convention award will be treated as a final judgment of their courts.
As of May 2016, 153 contracting member states agreed to enforce and uphold arbitral awards in accordance with the ICSID Convention.
