Research Abstract |
In this research project, I explored how environmental principles had been reconciled with traditional norms for resource distribution among bordering states in International Watercourse Regimes, especially in Europe. It was clarified that environmental protection and resource distribution was being gradually integrated under the concept of Sustainable Development by extension of so-called Equitable Use Principle and new development of procedural obligations such as transboundary Environmental Impact Assessment.
