Implementing the goal of sustainable development has long been
heralded as the means by which the needs of both present and future
generations can be met. However, finding a long-term balance
between economic, social and environmental interests, the basic
tenet of sustainable development, has proved largely illusive in
practice. This book shows that while a number of legal frameworks
to help promote the goal of sustainable development have been
proposed at the international level they fail to fully capture the
essence of sustainable development and international law's capacity
to support its implementation. The book offers a critical analysis
of past attempts to develop legal frameworks for promoting
sustainable development at the international level, and advocates
for a fresh approach based on lessons learnt from the law of
international watercourses. The book is divided into four sections.
The first section includes an overview of the topic area and an
understanding of international law. In section two the book
explores the meaning of sustainable development and considers the
term's relationship with international law. A detailed analysis of
how the law of international watercourses seeks to reconcile
competing economic, social and environmental interests is carried
out in section three. The book concludes with a section advocating
the need for a fresh approach to international law and sustainable
development and offering the foundations for this approach based on
lessons learnt from the law of international watercourses.
