In a keynote speech to the 5th EFILA Annual Conference 2020, Meg
Kinnear, Secretary-General of ICSID, discussed how alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) mechanisms have evolved in order to serve States and investors
in the resolution of international investment disputes. Moving to the present,
Ms. Kinnear provided an overview of the process underway at ICSID to expand its
ADR offerings as part of a broader amendment to the Centre’s procedural rules.
ICSID’s goal is ensuring that parties have a range of modern dispute-settlement
options available to them.
