ICSID Additional Facility

The ICSID Additional Facility offers arbitration and conciliation for certain disputes that fall outside the scope of the ICSID Convention. Specifically, arbitration or conciliation of investment disputes is available in situations where one—or neither—of the parties is an ICSID Member State or a national of an ICSID Member State. As such, the Additional Facility differs from arbitration and conciliation under the ICSID Convention—which requires that the parties are an ICSID Member State and a national of one.
