RESUMO

The International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) is an International Law organization created by the Washington Convention of 1965 with the idea of providing investors and the host of an investment a reliable, neutral and effective mechanism to solve conflicts arising from investments, and thereby providing an increasing of investment to the least developed and developing countries. The ICSID has peculiar characteristics such as the admission of individuals and companies in direct demands against a State, the requirement for recognition of the reports issued by arbitral tribunals by Contracting States, allowing the direct execution of the decision, and also the autonomous and unique character in relation to national laws. The center competency however is linked to three pre-conditions which together determine the jurisdiction of the center to examine the demands that are presented, in relation to the subject, to the parties and in relation to the consent of the parties to submit the conflict to the rules of the center. The consent of the parties is treated as one of the most important and fundamental pre-requisite to the system of settlement of disputes, especially in the case of the State, which in addition to ratify the treaty, must accept the jurisdiction specifically, expressly and in writing. The study aims to analyze the consent of Latin American States, which acceded to the Convention of Washington, faced with the evolution of the interpretation of the consent of the State, considering the case law that originated in Pyramid and AAPL v. SRI LANKA cases.
