uma comissão especial de conciliação, cuja composição poderá ser par-
cialmente selecionada pelas partes em litígio, a fim de promover efetiva
autocomposição, nos termos do artigo 29 da Convenção
28
e da regra 3
do Regulamento para Conciliações

; enfim, na regra 25 do Regulamento
para Arbitragens, há aplicação indireta do consagrado princípio já aplica-
do às nulidades em Direito Processual, e transportado para os procedi-
mentos arbitrais do ICSID: “Não há nulidade quando inexiste prejuízo às

. Estes são os mais significativos exemplos, em nosso
entendimento, acerca da simplificação procedimental existente no âmbi-
to do ICSID, em seus mais variados diplomas, a fim de se comprovar que
o seu papel na atualidade transcende o de mero tribunal arbitral, sendo
essencial para a solução das controvérsias no contexto do atual Direito
dos Investimentos Internacionais e Estrangeiros.
5. JURISPRUDÊNCIA CORRELATA
Rapidamente, citamos alguns entendimentos jurisprudenciais pro-
manados do ICSID, considerando que este organismo internacional tem
algumas características peculiares, por se reputar como uma Corte Arbi-
tral, especialmente o sigilo existente desde a deflagração do procedimen-
conciliators or arbitrators and the method of their appointment, as well as any other provisions agreed concerning
