The Centre maintains a Panel of Conciliators and a Panel of Arbitrators pursuant to Articles 12-16 of the ICSID Convention. Each ICSID Contracting State may designate up to four persons to each Panel. The designees may, but need not, be nationals of the designating country. In addition, up to ten persons may be designated by the Chairman of the ICSID Administrative Council. Each designee normally serves for a renewable term of six years.
Since the last release of February 2012, designations to the ICSID Panels have been made by the governments of the Bahamas, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Denmark, France, Ireland, Kenya, Lithuania, Nepal, New Zealand, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Timor-Leste. The names of these designees and the effective dates of their terms in office are listed below.
The complete list of the members of the ICSID Panels of Conciliators and of Arbitrators is updated on a regular basis and can be found here.
