International law relating to transboundary rivers, lakes and aquifers has undergone some significant developments in recent times. At the global level, the UN Watercourses Convention recently entered into force – 18 years on from its adoption by the UN General Assembly. Additionally, the UNECE Water Convention has been amended to allow all UN member states to be party to it, and the International Law Commission has completed its set of draft articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers. There has also been notable developments at the basin and regional level, where States and have utilised international law in order to deepen cooperation with their riparian neighbours, or made claims and counter-claims concerning the planned uses of international freshwaters. In light of these developments the symposium will bring together specialists in the field with a view to sharing cutting edge research related to international water law.
