Sovereignty and International Law of Rivers

Abstract

Between the natural resources you renewed blunts the water, whose renovator power seems inexorable, but with the potable resource constantly threatened by human actions. In this direction, the water resources dispersed for the planet disclose, at the same time, delay and progress possibilities. The correct handling of waters will depend on a series of ambient variables that interrelates. The perception of the water as patrimony of the humanity inspires special cares, over all when is about those water courses, or lakes, that intervene with more than one ecosystem of a sovereign State. The interdependence between the States, when speaking in water resources, makes classic concepts for the Law and for Geography, such as territory and sovereignty, be struggled front today’s reality that collates them without retrocession possibility. It is the bloom of a new generation of ideas that treat the environment as a whole unitary constantly linked and necessarily changeable.
