As the premier international investment arbitration facility, the Secretary-General role at ICSID is a unique, impactful, and high-profile position within the World Bank and on the international stage given that over 70% of investor-state dispute settlement claims are brought under ICSID rules. Since its inception, ICSID has defined international investment law, creating norms and consistency in an evolving global landscape. The Secretary-General will lead the ICSID Secretariat which, in addition to its dispute settlement activities, provides technical assistance concerning international investment dispute resolution and an active publications program in foreign investment law. The Secretary-General’s mandate is distinctive given the scale, complexity, history, mission and reach of ICSID and the World Bank platform.
