ICSID—International Centre for Settlement of Investment DisputesICSID is an arbitration forum established in 1966 to facilitate the settlement of disputes between governments and foreign investors in the hope that such a facility would help foster greater international investment flows. In 2006 ICSID had over one hundred active cases before it. ICSID is legally independent of the other, better-known parts of the World Bank Group, but in practice is tightly linked as its expenses are funded from the Bank's budget and all of its members are also members of the World Bank. Headquartered in Washington, ICSID's current secretary general is Ana Palacio. read more...
