Summary

The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID” or “the Centre”) is the world’s leading institution devoted to international investment dispute settlement. It was established in 1966 by the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (the “ICSID Convention”),1 a multilateral treaty proposed by the Executive Directors of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “World Bank”). ICSID provides a unique treaty framework, procedural rules and independent facilities for the settlement of disputes between foreign investors and host States.

Summary

It examines the role of the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in investor–state dispute settlement. After briefly introducing the creation of the ICSID, it argues that ICSID dispute settlement is one of the mechanisms available should disputes arise under the BRI, and the ICSID’s special attributes will make it a particularly effective vehicle in this context. Further, it introduces ICSID’s efforts to modernize its rules.

Good afternoon. I would like to start by thanking Judge Brower and the Executive Board of ASIL for inviting me to present the Brower Lecture this year. Judge Brower's leadership in international arbitration, and his contributions to the field truly are too many to list, so I will not do that!
