- W2200534346 abstract "This article examines the contemporary role of the International Court of Justice in the settlement of international investment disputes, specifically through the currently unused mechanism of Article 64 of the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States (hereafter, the 'ICSID Convention'). Part II (Court of Last Resort, but not Appeal: the Article 64 Clause Compromissoire in the ICSID Convention) examines how Article 64 of the ICSID Convention operates as a clause compromissoire to invoke the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court: '[a]ny dispute arising between Contracting States concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention which is not settled by negotiation shall be referred to the International Court of Justice by the application of any party to such dispute, unless the States concerned agree to another method of dispute settlement'. Read in conjunction with Article 27(1) of the ICSID Convention (a provision that expressly prohibits States from diplomatically espousing claims that are already subject of a pending arbitration), Article 64 has been regarded as a post-award inter-State enforcement mechanism to ensure compliance with arbitral awards issued under the Convention. On the basis of this conception, the Court has not yet received any referrals of international investment disputes since the passage of the ICSID Convention. A fair reading of Article 64, however, should also take into consideration the Court’s own interpretation of similar clauses compromissoire throughout its jurisprudential history. As I show in Part III (The Court’s Judicial Function in Support of ICSID Arbitration), the Court has not hesitated to exercise its judicial function to independently and objectively determine the scope of its jurisdiction ratione materiae. While the Report of the Executive Directors to the ICSID Convention specifically restrict the scope of the Court’s jurisdiction to matters that do not affect pending arbitrations, the Court may not necessarily find itself bound by this interpretation. I submit that Article 64’s scope of 'disputes…concerning the interpretation or application' of a treaty could also support the Court’s jurisdiction ratione materiae over three issues central to the preservation of the parties’ exclusive choice of forum through the ICSID arbitral process: first, the narrow theoretical possibility of seeking immediate provisional measures, in extreme situations, against a State’s injurious measures during the intervening period before the constitution of the arbitral tribunal; second, the possibility of seeking injunctive or declaratory relief from the Court against recalcitrant States that purposely attempt to thwart or prevent participation in the ICSID arbitration by interposing domestic court actions; and third, the possibility of seeking post-award conservatory measures to ensure a State’s recognition or execution of a Convention award. In these instances, the Court exercises jurisdiction to ensure States’ continued support of the arbitral process pursuant to their Convention obligations. In the Conclusion, I observe that while the early jurisprudence of the Court provided for inter-State settlement of disputes arising from the espousal of claims by aggrieved investors, the advent of the ICSID Convention has not necessarily eliminated any meaningful role for the Court in international investment disputes. Rather, it is a combination of both the prevailing conservatism of States Parties towards the perceived limited uses of the Article 64 mechanism in the ICSID Convention, and States’ pragmatic attitudes concerning the strategic efficacy of the Court, that might provide a better explanation for why the Court has remained dormant and underutilized in the settlement of modern international investment disputes." @default.
