International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes
Summary of International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes
An international agency affiliated with the World Bank and serving as a forum for the resolution of international investment disputes. The center was established by the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States, which was opened for signature on March 18, 1965; the convention came into being on October 14, 1966. As of June 30, 1984, ninety-one states had ratified the convention.
The center is governed by an administrative council, which is composed of one representative from each nation that has adhered to the convention. The president of the World Bank is ex officio nonvoting chairman of the council.
The center provides an impartial panel for the settlement of disputes. Panels of conciliators and of arbitrators are available to assist parties in reconciling differences. Failing such conciliation, binding arbitration may be enforced. Each adhering state is obliged to recognize as binding any arbitral award and must designate a court or other authority that will enforce awards.
Any state that is a member of the World Bank may adhere to the convention and participate in the affairs of the center.

International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes Outline
The ICSID came into existence in 1966 under the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States of 1965. It is an independent organization for dealing with foreign investment disputes, although it is financed by the World Bank (or IBRD). The investment disputes dealt with by the ICSID must be between a national government, which is a contracting party to the Convention, and an individual (either legal or natural person) whose government is a contracting party to the Convention. The centre provides arbitration and conciliation services as the means of dispute settlement.(1)
