​The ICSID Secretariat has initiated a project to make more ICSID jurisprudence publicly available.

To date, ICSID has published decisions and awards on the ICSID website or in the ICSID Review— Foreign Investment Law Journal, with consent of the parties involved. The Centre also publishes excerpts of the legal reasoning in an award where a party does not wish to publish that award (see Arbitration Rule 48(4)).

The purpose of the current project is to provide access to as much ICSID case law as possible, including procedural and substantive rulings. To that end, the Secretariat will be contacting parties in concluded cases to seek their authorization to publish decisions, orders and awards not yet published by the Centre. This case law will be posted on ICSID's website if both parties agree to publication. ICSID is aware that parties may view some information as confidential, in which case it will seek their consent to publish the rulings with appropriate excerpts or a general description of the relevant information, in lieu of the full text of the ruling.

ICSID appreciates the collaboration of facility users with this project. It is our hope that this project will enhance understanding of the ICSID process and international investment law. Questions about the project may be directed to icsidcaselaw@worldbank.org.
