The Principle of Solidarity in the Law of Transboundary Groundwater

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The vast majority of water consumed and utilised by mankind comes from underground resources, the majority of which cross boundaries of States. However, the management of transboundary groundwater is insufficiently regulated in international treaties whereas the existence of relevant customary norms remains unclear. In particular, it is still unclear whether the equitable utilisation rule is part of customary international law with respect to transboundary groundwater. This contribution does not focus on the analysis of the customary status of this important rule but it looksinto the principle of solidarity as an alternative legal doorway for the applicability of the equitable utilisation rule. After briefly explaining the current state of the art concerning the legal regime of transboundary aquifers, it provides the reader with an overview of the manifestations of the principle of solidarity in international law.On the basis of that, it analyses the normative status of the principle. In particular, it seeks to answer the question whether the enunciation of the principle of solidarity in binding and non-binding legal instruments enables us to conclude that it now forms part of the scope of general international law and operates as a stand-alone source of obligations for States, particularly with respect to groundwater. Answering this question may contribute to closing the gap in the legal regime of utilisation of transboundary groundwater but may also be very relevant for other fields of international law.
