Abstract
The Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism plays a significant role in international investment governance. Recent years, this mechanism has faced increasing criticism and reform pressures. In order to establish procedures that are more transparent, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) initiated a modernization reform of its rules in 2016, and the new rules came into effect on July 1, 2022. This reform marks an important milestone. This article primarily employs methods of literature review, inductive analysis, and case study analysis. This reform improves procedural efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances the transparency of arbitration proceedings. This reform has also driven the modernization of ICSID rules, furthered the deepening of ISDS mechanism reform, and had a significant impact on the practices of relevant countries and stakeholders.
