The ICSID Caseload – Statistics (Issue 2016‐2)

This issue of the ICSID Caseload – Statistics updates the profile of the ICSID caseload, historically

and for the Centre’s Fiscal Year 2016 (FY2016). It is based on cases registered or administered by

ICSID as of June 30, 2016.

As in the previous issues, this document illustrates: the number of cases registered under the

ICSID Convention and Additional Facility Rules; the number of other cases administered by the

ICSID Secretariat; the basis of consent to ICSID jurisdiction invoked in registered arbitration and

conciliation cases; the geographic distribution of ICSID cases by the State party to the dispute,

and the economic sectors involved in ICSID disputes. It also contains data on outcomes in ICSID

arbitration and conciliation proceedings, including further information on disputes decided by

arbitral tribunals, data on discontinued ICSID arbitration proceedings, and outcomes to date in

annulment proceedings under the ICSID Convention. The nationalities and geographic origins of

arbitrators, conciliators and ad hoc committee members appointed in ICSID cases are also

featured.

The Secretariat will continue to publish the ICSID Caseload – Statistics on a bi‐annual basis, and

welcomes any comments or suggestions by email at [email protected].

3. Non‐ICSID Cases Administered by the ICSID Secretariat

Chart 4: Number of Non‐ICSID Cases Administered by the ICSID Secretariat over the Past Ten Fiscal Years:

The ICSID Secretariat offers various levels of administrative and organizational support for non‐ICSID dispute

settlement in State‐State or investor‐State proceedings. Among the State‐State cases administered in the

past decade are the Southern Bluefin Tuna case (Australia and New Zealand v. Japan), an expert

determination proceeding under the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, and an arbitration under the Softwood

Lumber Agreement of 2006 (United States v. Canada).

The Centre also frequently provides administrative assistance to investor‐State arbitrations under the

UNCITRAL Rules or other ad hoc dispute settlement provisions. The Centre’s services in these proceedings

range from support with the organization of hearings to administrative services comparable to those

provided in ICSID cases. The Secretariat also acts as appointing authority, and decides proposals for

disqualification of arbitrators, upon request. In addition to administering UNCITRAL arbitrations, ICSID has

also assisted with the organization of hearings in arbitration proceedings conducted under the auspices of

the ICC, LCIA, PCA, and other institutions.
