A. LEGISLATION, TRENDS AND TENDENCIES
A.1 ICSID
Ukraine is a civil law country, and issues of international
arbitration are governed primarily by international conventions
and treaties, which, upon their ratification by the Verkhovna
Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) have priority over national
legislation, and by applicable national legislation. The
Verkhovna Rada ratified the ICSID Convention in 2000, and in
2013, the President of Ukraine adopted the Decree On Issues on
Selection of Candidates for Appointment as Representatives
from Ukraine to be Included in the Conciliators’ List and the
Arbitrators’ List of the International Centre for Settlement of
Investment Disputes.
