It has just been announced that ICSID and UNCITRAL have released the third version of the Draft Code of Conduct for Adjudicators in International Investment Disputes (see here). UNCITRAL and ICSID are also preparing a draft Commentary to accompany the Code.

Comments on version three of the draft are welcome and may be sent to the UNCITRAL Secretariat (uncitral@un.org) and ICSID Secretariat (icsidsecretariat@worldbank.org).
