Description
Summary:The Centre s activities in fiscal year 2014 are presented in detail in this report. They demonstrate why the Centre is still considered the lead international institution in this field. ICSID benefits from a broad and diverse membership, representing States from all legal traditions. In the past year ICSID welcomed Canada as the 150th Member State, and the Republic of San Marino as the 159th signatory State to the ICSID Convention. Similarly, ICSID has encouraged the development of a larger and more diverse group of case decision-makers, who reflect the diversity of ICSID s membership. It has adopted practices to propose arbitrators and conciliators from all States and of both genders, and has made progress in reaching this objective. Likewise, Member States have contributed to this objective by designating 82 new persons to the Panels of Arbitrators and of Conciliators in the past year.
