About the conference

The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) is a unique legal and intergovernmental platform which promotes sustainable use of transboundary waters. The Convention’s Implementation Committee, comprising lawyers and water management professionals, provides tailored assistance to facilitate better understanding, implementation and application of the Convention.


The event highlights the mechanisms available for Committee’s support to the countries, in particular the advisory procedure, which distinguishes the Committee from other similar mechanisms and enables it to engage with countries seeking to resolve water issues in a non-confrontational manner.
