Legal Agreements (loan agreements) are currently stored in various databases, with varying coverage. First, check the Documents & Reports database. For older agreements, the United Nation's Treaty Database may be the best source, however coverage for agreements from 1976 is not complete.

Publications of the World Bank are available online through the Documents & Reports database. Some publications may also be listed in the JOLIS Catalog. For permission to republish World Bank documents, please contact pubrighst@worldbank.org.

The decisions and awards of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) are published in several locations and may vary in completeness based on the publisher.

Persuant to the ICSID Convention, the Centre may only publish decisions and/or awards rendered in ICSID proceedings if both parties to the proceedings provide their consent. ICSID has published all such decisions and awards on the Centre's website.  In addition, the print publication, ICSID Review Foreign Investment Law Review, reprints selected decisions and/or awards rendered in ICSID cases.

Decisions and awards are also published by other sources, e.g., the ICSID Reports, published by Oxford University Press, and the International Legal Materials, published by ASIL. References to a number of external sources are listed for each case on the Centre's website.
