Extract

Obviously it is regrettable that the 115th Annual Meeting including this Panel cannot take place physically in Washington. We miss the ambiance, the camaraderie, being together as Oscar Schachter's “invisible college of international lawyers.” But we are grateful that the American Society has successfully managed to organize this meeting in an online format, just like many international organizations have continued their work in the best possible way, under the trying circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.
