4 By ruling on this narrow ground, the court of appeals expressly declined to rule on such issues as (1) whether a waiver of immunity for ICSID enforcement proceedings would also constitute a waiver for suits to compel an ICSID arbitration, and (2) whether the Federal Arbitration Act precludes lawsuits in U.S. courts to compel arbitration before ICSID.
