If Lauterpacht, writing back in 1950, warned about the changing landscape of the law of immunities due to the increased activities of the state in the economic sphere, English courts have never been so busy with regards to the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards against sovereign states today. As foreign direct investment grows, so too does the number of disputes between states and investors. Increasingly these disputes are resolved by international arbitration proceedings but once resolved, the enforcement of awards against states brings its own challenges. Whilst enforcement of arbitral awards should be 'almost a matter of administrative procedure' (to use the language of PetroChina International (Hong Kong) Corp Ltd [2011]), immunities remain to some, a 'hurdle', adding complexity to that process. This book gives the reader the key to understanding the principles governing such a notion in the context of enforcement of arbitral awards. This is the first systematic treatment of the jurisprudence relating to award enforcement against foreign states in England. It provides comprehensive examination of the principles and case-law relating to state immunity in the context of enforcement of international arbitral awards before English courts. It addresses questions such as: What are the principles governing the enforcement of international awards against sovereigns in England? How does the distinction between jurisdictional immunity and enforcement immunity operate in this context? What are the precise contours of such legal notions when they are put into motion by means of procedure? What is the practice of English courts in that regard? This book also covers the complexities arising from enforcement proceedings in other jurisdictions and their relation to proceedings in England. Authored by an expert with unique insight into immunities both as a practising barrister and as an academic, this is an essential resourcefor anyone interested or involved in enforcement proceedings during which state immunity is invoked.

Recourse to arbitration under the ICSID Additional Facility Rules in those cases where standard ICSID arbitration is not available is on the increase. Not only has there been a steady flow of Additional Facility Rules cases against States that have traditionally used the Additional Facility Rules (such as Canada and Mexico), but there has also been a spike in cases against new users such as Uzbekistan, Laos, Kyrgyzstan, and Equatorial Guinea. The denunciation of the ICSID Convention by Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia will likely also fuel the growth in arbitrations under the Additional Facility Rules, as several of their investment treaties provide for the use of the Additional Facility Rules when ICSID Convention arbitration is not available. This is the first text to provide a comprehensive examination of the inception, interpretation and application of the ICSID Additional Facility Rules, written by practitioners with extensive experience in international arbitrations, and with the benefit of insights from the ICSID Secretariat. It is practical and strategic in approach, considering how each rule features in the context of the realities that practitioners face, with an ongoing comparison between the Additional Facility Rules and other rules commonly used in investment arbitrations, such as the standard ICSID Rules and the UNCITRAL Rules. The book begins with an introduction to ICSID Additional Facility arbitration and is followed by an in-depth rule-by-rule analysis, starting with the commencement of an arbitration and working up to and including the rendering of an award and the determination of costs. The examination will be supported by comprehensive consideration of all awards rendered under the Additional Facility rules to date.
