International Water Law

International Water Law refers to the legal framework governing the management and use of freshwater resources that cross international boundaries. It aims to ensure equitable and sustainable access to shared water resources among countries, balancing their rights and responsibilities. Key agreements, like the United Nations Watercourses Convention, set principles for cooperation, minimizing disputes, and protecting the environment. This law helps prevent conflicts over water, promotes joint management, and addresses issues like pollution and conservation, ultimately contributing to peace and development among nations sharing vital water sources.
