Regulation of International Watercourses under the UN/ECE Regional Agreements
This article deals with the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) regional agreements, and their use as implementing instruments for protecting and managing international water courses. The background and issues of the regional instruments developed by the UN Economic Commission for Europe are addressed. The contents of the 1992 Helsinki Convention and its implementation are described, as well as the recent development of the Protocol on Water and Health. The relationship to the 1991 Espoo Convention and a comparison with the 1997 UN Convention on the Law of International Watercourses are also included. The potential of the UN/ECE conventions as tools to promote conflict prevention and dispute settlement is discussed. Lessons and conclusions are drawn from the experience on the management of transboundary waters in Europe.
