I.   INTRODUCTION
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic hurled the 21st
century into unprecedented turmoil, killing hundreds of thousands, affecting the
health of millions, and leveling the global economy. Following the initial outbreak,
it spread unchecked, not discriminating against race, class, or country. COVID-19
demonstrated the crucial necessity for strong international cooperation in attaining
global public health and safety objectives, that domestic law and policy responses
are inadequate to enforce, and preventing global detriment that occurs when
policies are not followed.
