Hello, I am very grateful, indeed, to the American Society of International Law for honoring me with the invitation to speak to you today. These are obviously very unusual circumstances. I am speaking to you from my wife's study in the Upper West Side of New York. Fortunately, my kids are at school at the moment, but COVID-19 has turned all of our worlds upside-down, and I hope that in the next twenty minutes or so, I can reach you, albeit not in a physical form but in a virtual one.
