Jeswald Salacuse, the Henry J. Braker Professor of Law at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, has been appointed to the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), Panel of Conciliators. This is the first time that the ICSID, an autonomous international institution established to provide facilities for conciliation and arbitration of international investment disputes, has issued separate lists for designees to the Panel of Arbitrators and the Panel of Conciliators. Meg Kinnear, the Secretary-General of ICSID, noted that “While ICSID cases are usually resolved through arbitration, the Chairman’s lists offer parties access to experts with skills in arbitration and in alternative forms of dispute resolution.”
The Panels are comprised of 10 arbitrators and 10 conciliators of different nationalities, who are available by appointment by disputing parties or by the Centre in proceedings at ICSID. The designations are for six year terms, effective September 15, 2011.
