Abstract
This article discusses different facets of the representation of States in investment arbitration with a focus on ICSID arbitrations. It reviews rules governing the determination of the representatives of a State, practical issues that arise with respect to such determination and the particulars of the ICSID system in appointing representatives of States. It then examines how problems relating to the representation of a State can be dealt with by curing the lack of authority of the person purporting to act on behalf of the State, by ratification of the acts in question, by reliance on the principles of estoppel and good faith and by invocation of the responsibility of the respondent State.
