This website provides a systematic collection of statements made by tribunals, sorted both by topics and relevant articles. The statements are accessible through four sections of this website:

• "Browse by Topics" allows you to browse through the Digest as you might the table of contents of a book concerning international investment law.
• Use "Browse by Cases" to find a summary of statements made by a tribunal in a specific case.
• For important treaties, "Browse by Articles" helps you finding statements made by tribunals regarding a specific article of a treaty or convention.
• Finally, you can enter any phrase in the textbox above to search the entire digest.

After you found a statement of interest to you, you can click it to open a window featuring notes on the tribunal, the relevant quotation(s) from the award, and further information. You can easily share a specific statement with a colleague or even bookmark it for yourself using the link provided at the bottom of each statement.

Within "Browse by Topics" and "Browse by Articles", you can generate a chronological list of statements by moving the mouse cursor over a topic. The timeline icon will appear (). Click it to open a list of all statements concerning the topic in question sorted chronologically.

For many topics we have compiled a comprehensive list of literature. To access a publication list, use either "Browse by Topics" or "Browse by Articles" to select a topic. While moving the mouse cursor over the topic, the publications icon will appear (). Click it to open a list of available publications for this topic, sorted by date.

For publications available online (e.g. Transnational Dispute Management or SSRN papers) we strive to provide direct links within the publication list. Note, however, that access to certain online publications may require a subscription (e.g. Transnational Dispute Management). You should also be aware that articles are often published several times. Thus, if we do not provide a direct link to an article, that article may still be available online from a different source.

You can also search for publications by title or author. Simply enter one or more keywords in the textbox at the top of the screen.

There is a dedicated page that summarizes the tribunal's statements for each decision on this website. Use "Browse by Cases" to open a list of all cases currently included in the Digest. Our list of cases can be sorted by claimant, respondent, treaty, or arbitrator.

This current version is a community preview featuring mainly decisions from 1990-2002 and 2010-2024. Thus, certain cases may not be available yet.
