The Consolidation of Claims in ICSID Arbitration

Focusing on the growing case backlog at the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the paper explores the potential for consolidating claims to enhance procedural efficiency and consistency in decision-making. It examines the motivations for consolidation in legal contexts and proposes methods for integrating this mechanism into ICSID's framework. Ultimately, the paper advocates for amending the ICSID Arbitration Rules to implement consolidation, aiming to improve justice delivery and restore legitimacy within the system.
