Clean-up
This needs clean-up, bureaucratic language has no place on Wikipedia. Tazmaniacs 00:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know how much has changed since it was tagged, but it looks OK to me (although a rather large number of redlinks still exist in the later sections of the article.) I've removed the cleanup tag; please be more specific about what needs cleanup if restoring it.  RJFJR (talk) 13:52, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

third party sources needed
I copyedited and cleaned en passant, but more work is needed. The lede was terribly repetitious and it still doesnt really reflect the body. As of today, more than half (11 of 19) the references are by ICSID, therefore many more third party sources are needed. No surprise that the page gives undue weight to the inner workings; page needs a criticism section.

I am somewhat shocked, that someone had the nerve to nominate this page for WP:good article. please ping me if you want to discuss this. Thanks.--Wuerzele (talk) 03:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The German Wikipedia page on ICSID describes how the 'judges' are selected for each case. 101.166.68.175 (talk) 00:30, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Very odd sentence in the case study section
The case study section contains a sentence which doesnn't appear to make any sense whatsoever. It says: "The case also attracted criticism for Tullow's use of local legal representation, Kampala Associated Advocates (KAA); the Ugandan law firm was founded by Elly Kurahanga, the president of Tullow's operations in Uganda and concerns were raised over his impartiality in the issue." It seems to say that a company which initiated an investor-state litigation against a company used a law firm the founder of which is president of that company in the country in question. And this raised concerns about impartiality. But why the hell would the lawyer representing a party in litigation have to be impartial? Of course he's not impartial!

 * I've removed this "criticism" because it makes little sense, as stated above. SchnitteUK (talk) 09:19, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Ecuador has re-joined the ICSID convention, effective 3 September 2021. The map needs to be updated. Could someone do this? https://icsid.worldbank.org/about/member-states — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magzan68 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
