Volume 7 brings the series up to date to include important recent decisions up to July 2003.

This volume celebrates the first fifty years of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) by presenting the landmark cases that have been decided under its auspices. These cases have addressed every aspect of investment disputes: jurisdictional thresholds; the substantive obligations found in investment treaties, contracts, and legislation; questions of general international law; and a number of novel procedural issues. Each chapter, written by an expert on the chapter’s particular focus, looks at an international investment law topic through the lens of one or more of these leading cases, analyzing what the case held, how it has been applied, and its overall significance to the development of international investment law. These topics include: - applicable law; - res judicata in investor-State arbitration; - notion of investment; - investor nationality; - consent to arbitration; - substantive standards of treatment; - consequences of corruption in investor-State arbitration; - State defenses - counter-claims; - assessment of damages and cost considerations; - ICSID Arbitration Rule 41(5) objections; - mass claims, consolidation and parallel proceedings; - provisional measures; - arbitrator challenges; - transparency and amicus curiae; and - annulment. Because the law of international investment continues to grow in importance in an ever globalizing world, this book is more than a fitting way to mark the past fifty years and to welcome the next fifty years of development. It will prove both educational for practitioners new to the field and informative for seasoned investment lawyers. Moreover, the book itself is a landmark that will be of great value to professionals, scholars and students interested in international investment law.

The World Bank Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes entered into force in 1965. An international dispute settlement system which is of great and growing importance, its reports have been published haphazardly in various periodicals, but are presented in these volumes in consolidated form for the first time, together with materials related to the ICSID cases from national courts around the world. All the decisions are presented in English with summaries, and are translated from other languages where necessary. This fourth volume contains materials relating to proceedings from 1981 to 1994, and is fully indexed.

Volume 19 of the ICSID Reports includes cases between 2004 and 2016.

Volume 8 brings the series up to date to include important recent decisions up to mid-2004.

Volume 9 brings the ICSID reports up to date and includes cases up to 2005.

The ICSID Reports provide the only comprehensive collection of the decisions of arbitral tribunals and ad hoc committees established under the auspices of the World Bank's International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes. These decisions make an important contribution to the highly specialised jurisprudence on international investment. The series also includes arbitration under the Additional Facility to the ICSID Convention which has increased in recent years, most notably in relation to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The ICSID Reports are thus an invaluable tool for practitioners and scholars alike working in the field of international commercial arbitration. Volume 5 of the ICSID Reports brings the series substantially up-to-date to include important recent decisions from 1996 to 2000, including American Manufacturing & Trading v. Zaire, Azinian v. Mexico, Tradex Hellas v. Albania, Metalclad v. Mexico and Gruslin v. Malaysia.

It is more than twenty-five years since the World Bank Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes entered into force. These reports present in a single, comprehensive series all those decisions of ICSID tribunals that are in the public domain, as well as the decisions of national courts relating to such proceedings. Volume 1 includes basic texts plus awards and decisions in the period 1972 to 1981. Volume 2 deals with the years from 1981 to 1983. Volume 3: 1983 to the 1990s. All decisions are prefaced by a summary and a key word heading. Consolidated tables of cases and indexes are present in each volume.

This is a practice-oriented guide, including text, commentary, tables and index, for anyone dealing with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
