ICSID jurisdiction invoked in such cases, the economic sectors involved, and the geographic origin

and type of investors involved in such cases. It also contains data on outcomes in arbitration

proceedings involving an African State Party, including further information on disputes decided

by tribunals and on settled or discontinued cases.

This document further looks at cases involving African investors and illustrates the number of

cases registered, the type of cases registered, the basis of consent to ICSID jurisdiction invoked
