Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C., is delighted to congratulate Mark A. Meyer on his designation by the Republic of Moldova to the Panel of Arbitrators of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) for a six year term ending October 13, 2017. 

ICSID is an autonomous international institution that is part of the World Bank and established under the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States. There are currently 157 signatory States to the ICSID Convention. 

Herbert Rubin, Senior Member of Herzfeld & Rubin, congratulated Mr. Meyer on his designation noting that: “This appointment significantly enhances Mr. Meyer’s opportunities to serve as an international arbitrator beyond his current work on various panels including that of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. As a distinguished international legal advisor to governments and investors in the emerging markets, an Adjunct Professor of International Law at St. John’s University School of Law, and an acknowledged expert in the field, Mr. Meyer brings a depth of knowledge and experience to any arbitration panel on which he serves.”

ICSID is the leading international arbitration institution devoted to investor-State dispute settlement. ICSID has an Administrative Council that is chaired by the World Bank's President, and it provides facilities for the conciliation and arbitration of investment disputes between member countries and individual investors. The Panel of Arbitrators and the Panel of Conciliators are composed of individuals appointed by ICSID Member States and by the Chairman of the ICSID Administrative Council.
