Latin American Investment Arbitrator Survey
This chart sets forth a complete list of all arbitrators appointed in cases involving a Latin American State before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) since the first contemporary case registered against a Latin American State in 1996.
This information is based on publicly available sources about 169 pending and concluded cases (appointments in original proceedings only). The chart also indicates Spanish capacity based on publicly available information. It is current as of October 15, 2014. There are many qualified arbitrators not mentioned in this list who are active in commercial arbitration in the region before international and local institutions, as well as ad hoc tribunals.
