ICSID Reports

The ICSID Reports provide an authoritative collection of investor-State arbitral awards rendered under the auspices of the World Banks International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and other institutions. These decisions, which are fully indexed, make an important contribution to the growing body of jurisprudence on international investment law.
