Through a series of lectures from experienced water law experts, case studies and group exercises the workshop provides participants with the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of key legal rules and principles that apply to transboundary waters, including the 1997 UN Watercourses Convention, the 1992 UNECE Water Convention and the 2008 ILC Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers, examine both the challenges and lessons learnt in the implementation of law relating to transboundary waters across a range of settings, and share experiences and best practice in the negotiation, design and implementation of laws relating to transboundary waters.

The workshop will benefit a range of experts (lawyers and non-lawyers) working on transboundary water issues, including those from government, international organisations, civil society groups, universities, research institutes and private companies.
