Qatar signs ICSID Convention

Qatar recently signed the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID Convention). The official announcement by ICSID can be found here. The Convention provides a forum for the arbitration of investment treaty disputes between one State party to the Convention on the one hand and an investor holding the nationality of another State party to the Convention on the other.

We had earlier reported the withdrawal of Bolivia from this Convention.
