Established in 1966 by the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (the ICSID Convention), it is the only global institution dedicated to international investment dispute settlement.  \nThrough its specialized rules of procedure, world-class facilities, and expert legal and administrative support, ICSID provides unparalleled dispute resolution services to States and investors. Since the first case was registered with ICSID in 1972, the majority of all known international investment disputes have been administered by ICSID.  \nLETTER OF TRANSMITTAL  \nSeptember 7, 2021  \nMr. David R. Malpass  \nChair, Administrative Council  \nInternational Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes  \nDear Mr. Malpass,  \nI am pleased to submit the Annual Report on the operation of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes for approval by the Administrative Council. This Annual Report covers the fiscal year from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.  \nThe Report includes the audited financial statements of the Centre, presented pursuant to Administrative and Financial Regulation 19.  \nYours sincerely,  \nMeg Kinnear Secretary-General  \n2021 ANNUAL REPORT  v   \nCONTENTS  \nLetter of Transmittal iv  \nMessage from the Secretary-General 1  \nMessage from the Chair 3  \nYear in Review 4  \nICSID Secretariat 6  \nInstitutional Update: Rule Amendments | Code of Conduct 10  \nMembership 13  \nPanels of Arbitrators and of Conciliators 16  \nCaseload Trends 20  \nSpotlight on Mediation 34  \nOutreach and Training 36  \nFifty-Fourth Annual Meeting 44  \nFinance 46  \nList of Member States 63  \nvi  ICSID  \nMeg Kinnear, Secretary-General of ICSID. © ICSID  \nMEG KINNEAR | ICSID SECRETARY-GENERAL  \n2021 ANNUAL REPORT 1  \nMESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL  \nThe last year has seen unprecedented challenges across the global economy. The task ahead is not only to build back, but ‘build back better’ as so many have urged. Supporting a green and inclusive recovery—with lasting benefits for people and the planet—is our central task at the World Bank Group. ICSID has a unique role to play in this as the premiere global institution dedicated to theresolution of international investment disputes.  \nOver the last year, our core priority has been ensuring that ICSID’s services and facilities for the peaceful settlement of disputes remained available to States and investors. We have succeeded on that front, having adapted to new ways of working in a manner that has been seamless for users of the Centre. As we report on page 20, our key case-related indicators—from the issuance of decisions and awards, to the number of hearings and sessions held in FY2021—are consistent with previous years.  \nUnderlying these numbers is a remarkable shift in the administration and conduct of cases. ICSID went completely paperless last year, as electronic filing became the default option. For those familiar with the voluminous banker boxes that traditionally passed through our offices, you will especially appreciate the significance of this change.  \nThe move to remote hearings is also unprecedented. While videoconferencing had been used increasingly over the years for sessions and shorter, less complex, hearings, the last year has seen the technology put to use on an entirely new scale. It has demonstrated that videoconferencing is a viable option for even the largest, most complicated hearings.  \nWe expect that practices such as electronic filing will be permanent, and that we will continue to use remote platforms in many situations. We also expect that hybrid models—in which hearing participants are grouped in different locations—will be increasingly favored.
