The Annual Session was scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada, on 3-7 July, under the theme “Bridging Divides and Building Human Security from Vancouver to Vladivostok.”

“This joint decision has been taken after careful consideration, due to the current pandemic caused by COVID-19, by taking into account the health and safety of all participants and in view of the uncertainty and expected restrictions for travel and the holding of large events in the upcoming months, which would not allow for a regular organization and proceeding of the Annual Session,” Fry and Tsereteli wrote.
