Just Released: International Waters: Review of Legal and Institutional Frameworks
The report, International Waters: Review of Legal and Institutional Frameworks, has just been released. It is the most comprehensive report to date that summarizes legal frameworks for the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe. This report discusses the legal and institutional frameworks that apply to twenty-eight (28) international water bodies that were identified as part of the United Nations Development Programme-Global Environment Facility (“UNDP-GEF”) Good Practices and Portfolio Learning in GEF Transboundary Freshwater and Marine Legal and Institutional Frameworks project. Authored by White and Case for this project, this 300 page document is a much needed and useful contribution to the literature for practitioners of international waters law, its study and practice.
Excerpt from the Introduction:
This report discusses the legal and institutional frameworks that apply to twenty-eight (28) international water bodies that were identified as part of the United Nations Development Programme-Global Environment Facility (“UNDP-GEF”) Good Practices and Portfolio Learning in GEF Transboundary Freshwater and Marine Legal and Institutional Frameworks project.
This three-year multi donor GEF sponsored project is dedicated to facilitating good governance and more effective decision making in international waters through the identification, collection, adaptation and replication of beneficial practices and lessons learned from international experiences.
The project also facilitates dialogue among individuals and organizations engaged in governance within and between freshwater, groundwater and marine international waters with particular emphasis on “South-South” cooperation and learning.
The key measurable benefit of this project is in ensuring that various lessons learned from multi-country experiences, including identification of areas where problems and delays are commonly experienced, are assimilated by various target audiences in a meaningful way. These target audiences include local water managers, governments, and civil society groups, primarily the portfolio of GEF projects.
