UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CENTREFOR SETTLEMENT
OF INVESTMENT DISPUTES(UN-ICSID)
ICSID is an autonomous international institution
established under the Convention on the
Settlement of Investment Disputes between States
and Nationals of Other States (the ICSID or the
Washington Convention) with over one hundred and
forty member States. The Convention sets
forth ICSID's mandate, organization and core
functions. The primary purpose of ICSID is to provide
facilities for conciliation and arbitration of
international investment disputes.
The ICSID Convention is a multilateral treaty
formulated by the Executive Directors of the
International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (the World Bank). It was opened for
signature on March 18, 1965 and entered into force on October 14, 1966.
The Convention sought to remove major impediments
to the free international flows of private
investment posed by non-commercial risks and the
absence of specialized international methods for
investment dispute settlement. ICSID was created
by the Convention as an impartial international
forum providing facilities for the resolution of
legal disputes between eligible parties, through
conciliation or arbitration procedures. Recourse
to the ICSID facilities is always subject to the parties'
consent.
As evidenced by its large membership,
considerable caseload, and by the numerous references to its
arbitration facilities in investment treaties and
laws, ICSID plays an important role in the field of
international investment and economic development.
Today, ICSID is considered to be the leading
international arbitration institution devoted to investor-
State dispute settlement.
