Inaugural lecture by Prof. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes - L’Eau en droit international : entre singularité et pluralité - Collège de France Editions

The Geneva Water Hub is pleased to announce the publication of the inaugural lecture by Prof. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, entitled L'eau en droit international : entre singularité et pluralité (Paris, Collège de France/Fayard, 2023).

Essential to life and human activity, freshwater is a concern in international law. Its regulations, initially devoted to rivers shared between several States, gradually shifted towards other sources of water. Today, its scarcity, the need for a sustainable allocation of its uses, its use as a weapon of war, its vulnerability to environmental degradation or the prevention of disputes are all issues that call for a mobilization and strengthening of international law.

The announcement of this publication is available on the Collège de France website as well as on the Fayard editions website.
