On 27-28 September 2016, CRCICA hosted the first ever course and conference of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) to be held in the region in celebration of its 50th anniversary. The introductory course on Arbitration under the ICSID Convention: Navigating An ICSID Arbitration from Start to Finish was meant to train regional practitioners, and whoever is interested, to effectively and properly participate at ICSID dispute settlement procedures through each stage of an arbitration, and discuss recent developments in international investment arbitration, current trends in the ICSID caseload, dispute prevention and other practical considerations.
The course was attended by governmental counsels, in-house advisors, private lawyers, arbitrators and law students. It was taught by Meg Kinnear, the ICSID Secretary General, and ICSID Legal Counsels.
