This book addresses the diverse ways in which international law
governs the uses, management, and protection of fresh water. The
regulation of fresh water has primarily developed through the
conclusion of treaties concerning international watercourses, yet a
number of other legal regimes also apply to the governance of fresh
water. In particular, there has been an increasing recognition of
the importance of fresh water to environmental protection. The
development of international human rights law and international
humanitarian law has also proven crucial for ensuring the sound and
equitable management of this resource. In addition, the economic
uses of fresh water feature prominently in the law applicable to
watercourses, while water itself has become an important element of
the trade and investment regimes. These bodies of rules and
principles not only surface in an array of dispute settlement
mechanisms, but also stimulate wider trends of
institutionalization. Since the publication of the first edition of
this volume in 2013, water has continued to be at the forefront of
the international agenda, and the adoption of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals constitutes a milestone around which various
public and private initiatives have been launched. This book
presents and appraises these important developments as part of its
comprehensive analysis of the origin and scope of the various areas
of international law as they apply to fresh water. It demonstrates
how these areas connect and adapt to one another, forming an
integrated body of international principles.
