This chapter examines activities of the Centre in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Section I begins by reviewing ratifications of the ICSID Convention in the period 2000 to 2010. It then turns to the management, staffing and finances of the Secretariat during the period. Additions to the Panels of Conciliators and of Arbitrators are also considered. Two sets of amendments of the Regulations and Rules of the Centre were passed during the decade to meet changing demands on ICSID. These amendments are examined in Section II. An overview of the expanded caseload is provided in Section III.
