1 THE ICSID CASELOAD STATISTICS (ISSUE 07 )
2 The ICSID Caseload Statistics (Issue 07 ) This issue of the ICSID Caseload Statistics updates the profile of the ICSID caseload, historically and for the calendar year 06. It is based on cases registered or administered by ICSID as of December, 06. As in the previous issues, this document illustrates: the number of cases registered under the ICSID Convention and Additional Facility Rules; the number of other cases administered by the ICSID Secretariat; the basis of consent to ICSID jurisdiction invoked in registered arbitration and conciliation cases; the geographic distribution of ICSID cases by the State party to the dispute, and the economic sectors involved in ICSID disputes. It also contains data on outcomes in ICSID arbitration and conciliation proceedings, including further information on disputes decided by arbitral tribunals, data on discontinued ICSID arbitration proceedings, and outcomes to date in annulment proceedings under the ICSID Convention. The nationalities and geographic origins of arbitrators, conciliators and ad hoc committee members appointed in ICSID cases are also featured. The Secretariat will continue to publish the ICSID Caseload Statistics on a bi annual basis, and welcomes any comments or suggestions by at ICSIDsecretariat@worldbank.org. 07 by International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.

Among the State State cases administered in the past decade are the Southern Bluefin Tuna case (Australia and New Zealand v. Japan), an expert determination proceeding under the Indus Waters Treaty of 960, and an arbitration under the Softwood Lumber Agreement of 006 (United States v. Canada). The Centre also frequently provides administrative assistance to investor State arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Rules or other ad hoc dispute settlement provisions. The Centre s services in these proceedings range from support with the organization of hearings to administrative services comparable to those provided in ICSID cases. The Secretariat also acts as appointing authority, and decides proposals for disqualification of arbitrators, upon request. In addition to administering UNCITRAL arbitrations, ICSID has also assisted with the organization of hearings in arbitration proceedings conducted under the auspices of the ICC, LCIA, PCA, and other institutions. 07 by International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
