August 04, 2022
2022年8月4日
The latest edition of ICSID’s biannual caseload statistics report examines case-related trends over the 2022 fiscal year, as well as for all ICSID cases going back to 1972.
ICSID最新的半年度案件数量统计报告审查了2022财政年度的案件相关趋势和ICSID自1972年以来的所有案件。
ICSID registered 50 new cases in FY2022 (July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022) under its procedural rules for resolving international investment disputes. Arbitrations under the ICSID Convention accounted for the largest share of new cases (48 cases), followed by arbitrations applying the ICSID Additional Facility Rules (two cases).
ICSID在2022财政年度(从2021年7月1日算起,到2022年6月30日结束)根据其解决国际投资争端的程序规则登记了50个新案件。新案件中所占比例最大的是根据《ICSID公约》(ICSID Convention)进行的仲裁(48个),其次是适用《ICSID附加便利规则》(ICSID Additional Facility Rules)的仲裁(2个)。
As of June 30, 2022, ICSID had registered a total of 888 cases under the ICSID Convention and Additional Facility Rules since the first case was registered in 1972.
截至2022年6月30日,ICSID自1972年登记第一个案件以来,根据《ICSID公约》和《附加便利规则》共登记了888个案件。
An additional 18 cases were administered under other procedural rules. The majority of these cases (13) applied the arbitration rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
另有18个案件是根据其他程序规则处理的。这些案件中的大多数(13个)适用联合国国际贸易法委员会(UNCITRAL)的仲裁规则。
Basis of Consent
合意的基础
The majority of newly registered cases in FY2022 (56%) asserted ICSID jurisdiction on the basis of a bilateral investment treaty—which is in line with the historical average of 60%. Notably, ICSID saw an uptick in cases based on contracts between an investor and host-State over recent years (13%), followed closely by cases brought on the basis of the Energy Charter Treaty (11%).
在2022财政年度,大多数新登记的案件(56%)根据双边投资条约主张ICSID的管辖权——这与60%的历史平均水平相一致。值得注意的是,近年来,ICSID发现基于投资者和东道国之间的合同的案件有所增加(13%),紧随其后的是基于《能源宪章条约》提起的案件(11%)。
In addition, a wide variety of bilateral and regional trade and investment agreements were invoked, including:
除此之外,还援引了各种各样的双边和区域贸易和投资协定,包括:
· The North American Free Trade Agreement and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (4% each)
· 《北美自由贸易协定》和《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》(各4%)

Economic Sectors
经济部门
The economic sectors involved in ICSID proceedings are also diverse. Historically, the extractives and energy sectors have accounted for the largest share of cases, and this trend continued in FY2022. Twenty-four percent of new cases involved electric power and other energy sources, and 22% related to the oil, gas and mining industry.
进入ICSID程序的经济部门也是多样的。从历史上看,采掘业和能源部门占到了案件的最大比例,且2022财政年度持续一趋势。24%的新案件涉及电力和其他能源,22%与石油、天然气和采矿业有关。
Also prominent was the construction sector, which accounted for 12% of disputes, followed by information and communications at 10%, and water, sanitation and flood protection at 8%.  The finance and transport sectors were involved in 6% of cases each, and tourism in 4%. A mix of other industries accounted for the remaining 8% of cases registered in FY2022.

Case Outcomes
案件结果
The outcome of cases at ICSID has been consistently balanced between States and investors—and FY2022 was no different. Among cases decided by tribunals, 48% of awards upheld the investors’ claims in part or in full, 28% of awards rejected all of the investors’ claims on the merits, and 21% of awards declined jurisdiction. Three percent of cases were dismissed for manifest lack of legal merit.
ICSID的案件结果一直在国家和投资者之间保持平衡,在2022财政年度中也不例外。在仲裁庭裁决的案件中,48%的裁决部分或全部支持投资者的索赔,28%的裁决驳回了投资者关于实体问题的所有索赔,21%的裁决拒绝了管辖权。3%的案件因明显缺乏法律依据而被驳回。

在2022财政年度,女性占ICSID所有案件任命的24%,而2021财政年度为31%,2020财政年度为14%。
Amongst the appointments made by ICSID—as opposed to appointments by the parties or co-arbitrators—45% were women and 55% were men.
