In particular, the immense economic upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the muchneeded stability that is fostered by international legal frameworks and multilateral institutions. My colleagues at the World Bank Group have moved with remarkable speed to help over 100 countries strengthen their emergency response and healthcare systems. Beyond that, the challenge of building as robust a recovery as possible lies ahead of us.  \nAs a part of the World Bank Group, ICSID has also been committed to the emergency response andwill be part of addressing the recovery in the months to come. The closing of our offices in March 2020 pushed us to find new ways of doing business so that we could continue to provide our usual services and facilities in a seamless manner. Overnight, all filings went to electronic format andawards and decisions were issued electronically.  \nIn-person hearings scheduled for ICSID’s hearings centres in Washington, D.C. and Paris—and many other venues around the world—have been held virtually. From real-time court reporting to simultaneous interpretation, the essential features of an ICSID hearing have been brought to our secure video-conferencing platforms.  \nOur success in this endeavor is a credit to the dedication, ingenuity, and flexibility of tribunals, counsel and the ICSID Secretariat. From home offices, kitchens and living rooms around the globe, ICSID’s 303 pending cases have continued to advance—while 40 new cases were added to the ICSID docket over the fiscal year.  \nYet for all the focus on technology, the human element has been just as important to our achievements.  \nOne of ICSID’s first virtual hearings during the pandemic featured tribunal members,
