Overview

When viewing text of a dispute document, you will be able to use the different research tools to see treaties or arbitration rules, publications, other jurisprudence, subjects or terms & phrases that the award/decision has referred to. If you select the Article Citator, the document text will show highlighted excerpts that show how the referenced legal instruments and particular provisions have been applied by the tribunal.

Portion Cited

In order to view where specific provisions are referred to within the dispute document text, use the “portion cited” dropdown. This will show you which specific provision within the legal instrument is referred to by this document, or if you select “All”, it will show you where general references to the legal instrument are made.

Example: The dispute document, Saba Fakes v. Republic of Turkey, ICSID Case No. ARB/07/20, Award, 14 July 2010, refers to the legal instrument, ICSID Convention (1965). Within the “portion cited” dropdown menu you can select “Article 25” to view the text within the dispute document that refers to Article 25 of the ICSID Convention.

If you would like to view the text of the referenced provision from the selected legal instrument, click the link “Preview [provision name]”. This will only work for specific provisions, and not general references that are listed as “All”. Once you select the preview option, you will see a popup appear with the excerpt of that provision. From here you can copy the excerpt to save for your research purposes, or even visit that legal instrument’s provision by selecting “View in Document”. To exit out of this and go back to the dispute document you were viewing, press the “x” icon to close.

Jumping to the document excerpt with the reference

In order to view the section within the award or decision you are viewing that makes a reference to the legal instrument, select the paragraph numbers listed below the “Referred to in this case at” heading.

Once you make a selection you will be brought to that section within the dispute document that refers to the specific provision or general legal instrument.
