SCC Investment Treaty Statistics 2014

1. A RECORD YEAR FOR INVESTMENT
TREATY DISPUTES
The SCC has emerged as one of the world's leading
institutes for the resolution of disputes between investors
and states. Today the SCC is the second largest forum in
the world for administering investment disputes under its
own rules after the dispute resolution organ of the World
Bank.
2014 was a record year for investment treaty disputes at the SCC with 11 investor
treaty cases being administered under the SCC Rules.

The SCC has administered a total of 73 investment disputes since 1993. Out of the 73 cases, 70% (51) of the
investment disputes registered have been administered under the SCC Rules. The majority of SCC investment
disputes are BIT-based disputes (32), or ECT-based disputes (13), but also disputes based on investment
agreements (6) have been filed at the SCC under the SCC Rules.
Out of the 11 cases, nine were administered as arbitrations under the SCC Rules and two under the
rules for the appointment of an Emergency Arbitrator.
