international commercial arbitration
Chapter 13 covers specialist forms of arbitration, including arbitration of
investment disputes under the ICSID Convention 1966, resolution of disputes
between states in the World Trade Organization (WTO), and arbitration before the
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). In relation to investor-state arbitration,
corporate investors may pursue claims against states (and state-owned enterprises)
in the context of bilateral investment treaties and free trade agreements. This
promotes international investment because, historically, states were able to avoid
prosecution owing to the doctrine of sovereign state immunity, and investors were
reluctant to proceed in the states’ own courts due to concerns about independence
and impartiality. The WTO resolves international trade disputes between states
using a panel procedure, with arbitral processes also used during the compliance
phase. Similarly, the CAS is an institution based in Switzerland which uses arbitral
processes to resolve sports-related disputes.
