2020 was characterised by the fight against the covid-19 pandemic, which at the time of writing1 has affected more than 100 million people and claimed more than 2 million lives worldwide. In 2020, the sars-CoV-2 virus reached the remotest parts of the planet, including small communities in the Arctic2 and even Antarctica.3 In polar regions, the limited health care infrastructure poses a particular challenge when dealing with the pandemic. The ability of regulators to improve the existing infrastructure with the speed the pandemic calls for is rather limited. While some countries have been able to construct hospitals for covid-19 patients in a very short amount of time, the regulatory approach, especially in the Arctic, has been different. Instead of trying to compensate for structural weaknesses, which are based on geography, history, economy and colonial heritage in administrative settings, many Arctic communities have built on their strengths, such as flexibility, resilience, relative independence and mutual cooperation within communities. Success stories include Iceland4 and Greenland,5 which were able to limit the spread of the disease. As Greenland severely limited passenger flights into the country6 and brought citizens back to the island,7 the importance of the transport of goods by ship has become even more relevant. This, in turn, increased Greenland’s dependence on ship transport and emphasised

In 2020, UN human rights law practice was of course heavily shaped by the onset of the covid-19 pandemic, a global health crisis,1 that could easily be qualified as a ‘disaster’ situation due to its overwhelming and seriously disruptive nature, the extent of injuries and casualties inflicted,2 but also the demonstrated importance of adequate hazardous risk assessment, mitigation, preparation and response. The application of human rights to the covid-19 pandemic is well covered by the Yearbook’s thematic section this year.3 Therefore, this section only gives a short summary of developments on covid-19 in UN human rights law practice, after which it turns to other disaster events during 2020, including several (pending) oil spills (from ships) or collapses of dams. The UN treaty bodies did not take further steps in several climate cases pending since 20194 and, in fact, their practice was generally limited because the review of periodic State reports was partially suspended over 2020, and hampered by lack of submission of new reports due to the pandemic.5

Resilience is nowadays one of the building blocks of the paradigm that guides our efforts to manage disaster situations. Taken from the engineering sector, where it refers to the ability of some materials to be subject to an external stress agent, cope with the strain and react to it by absorbing it or by changing with a minimum disruption, in other fields it remains a rather mysterious concept. Erwig and Simoncini have recently highlighted that resilience poses a set of challenges for (international) law, including that law must understand what resilience to disasters requires and under which circumstances it must be limited.1 A sad occasion to test the drawbacks of the narrative of resilience was recently offered by the explosion that devastated Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, on 4 August 2020. Along with the cedar, the symbol of eternal life, Lebanon is indeed known and celebrated for its capacity to recover quickly from the difficulties faced. The resilience of the Lebanese is often compared to that of the mythical Phoenician Bird otherwise known as a Phoenix, which never dies and instead emerges from the ashes to survive another day. According to the legend, Beirut is an urban phoenix as it was rebuilt from the ashes seven times. In the aftermath of the Beirut explosion, however, many Lebanese scholars and activists fervently rejected resilience as a concept that is contributing to perpetuating their condition in a context where radical change is instead desperately needed; they all claimed that resilience has already costed too much to their country.2
