Abstract
There were no new developments internationally. Acting on a recommendation of the Council of Ministers of the Volta River Basin Authority made at its seventh session in Accra, Ghana, on 10 May 2019, Ghana acceded on 22 June to both the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses (UN Watercourses Convention), which entered into force in August 2014, and to the 1992 United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. Ghana has thus become the third African nation to join the latter Convention, after Chad and Senegal, and the forty-forth state party to the Convention. At the same time, Ghana has become the thirty-seventh state party to the UN Watercourses Convention. With the deposit of the fourth and last instrument of ratification by Paraguay, the Guaraní Aquifer Agreement, made in San Juan, Argentina, on 2 August 2010, entered into force on 26 November (see discussion in last year’s volume).
