This thesis analyses the conundrum at the intersection of (i) recognition, (ii) enforcement, and (iii) execution of investment treaty arbitral awards pursuant to the ICSID convention. Orienting between recognition, enforcement, and execution has recently stirred quite some debate. This culminates in the question of, on the one hand, whether it is necessary to differentiate between “enforcement” and “execution” in light of the plea of sovereign immunity, and how to do so, on the other hand. In this context, the concept of sovereign immunity in general and as a potential objection within the ICSID enforcement proceedings will be analysed in particular. This thesis does so by analysing scholarly work, the ICSID history and as a result of municipal case law vis-à-vis sovereign immunity and ICSID enforcement. A particular emphasis will be put on statutory interpretations, for example on ICSID enforcement regime and its terminology. In this light, a terminological analysis of language is instrumental given that the ICSID convention has three original languages.
