Abstract
The indisputable accomplishment of the UN Watercourses Convention (UNWC) is the promotion of general principles of international water law at the universal level. For states sharing freshwater resources, cooperation is indispensable for achieving equitable and reasonable utilization, preventing significant harm and protecting shared ecosystems. The UNWC highlights this importance through the comprehensive codification of cooperation obligations and explicit recognition of the duty to cooperate as one of the general principles of international water law. This article traces the genesis of this recognition and highlights the convention's invaluable contribution in promoting international cooperation in the management of transboundary water resources.
