Ioan Micula v. Government of Romania
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 1:17-cv-02332-APM Hon. Amit P. Mehta, United States District Judge
From the Argument
ICSID Convention Article 54 requires the United States to enforce Appellees’ final ICSID award in fulfillment of treaty obligations owed to every other Contracting State to the ICSID Convention. That the courts of the United States must enforce ICSID awards without the extensive review that Appellant demands is at the heart of the ICSID Convention’s multilateral framework for investor-state dispute settlement, and precisely the result to which the United States, Romania, and 156 other ICSID Convention Contracting States consented.
