Nationality Requirements for Investors in ICSID Arbitration - The Award in Soufraki v. The United Arab Emirates
Anthony C. Sinclair
Associate
International Arbitration Group
Allen & Overy LLP
A new ICSID award has been authorised for public release by the Respondent. The case of
Soufraki v. The United Arab Emirates (ICSID Case No. ARB/02/07) (L.Y. Fortier,
President; A. El Kholy, S.M. Schwebel, Arbitrators) is mostly interesting
for its facts, but it is also notable as the first ICSID arbitration (of which I am aware) in
which an individual investor has been denied jurisdiction to bring his or her claims on account
of failure to satisfy the nationality requirements of Article 25(2)(a) of the ICSID
Convention.
The full article and the ICSID Arbitration The Award in Soufraki v. The United Arab Emirates
are available for subscribers only.
