Principles of International Water Law

This research primarily delves into the principles of international water law and the discourse regarding the same. There are certain treaties which the countries sign in order for peaceful harmony in their respective nations and the world at large. However, since the treaties are not binding upon the countries until they become the signatories, the states have the privilege to refuse to become a part of such co-operative arrangements. Therefore, the study analyses the principles of international water law in the scenario of transboundary water course. In order to conclude with a practical, current scenario, the study analyses and discusses upon the Ganges dispute, the primary principle violated of which is “principle of no significant harm.”
