Opis

For more than a century there have been conflicting claims to the use and resources of the Nile watercourse, an essential source of water for more than 400 million people across eleven different states. This book examines the multifaceted regulation of the Nile, starting with the Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1902 through to contemporary legal relations.

Recenzje

"International Watercourses Law and the Nile Basin - Three States at a Crossroad is a welcome and much-needed contribution to scholarship on the Nile. The topic could not be more timely, as transboundary cooperation on the Nile has reached an impasse, despite important development initiatives across the basin... This work by Dr Tadesse Kassa Woldetsadik offers a fresh look at some of these questions and offers new insights on possible future solutions on the Nile." – from the foreword by Professor Patricia Wouters, Founding Director, UNESCO IHP-HELP Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science, University of Dundee, Scotland; Founding Director, International and National Water Law Programme, University of Xiamen, China under the Chinese Government Thousand Talents Programme.
