Abstract: The Bandung Principles emerged from the Asian–African 1955 Bandung Conference – a historical milestone of global solidarity between nations in the Global South. This paper explores some of the interlinkages between the Bandung Principles and global water governance. Four key areas of potential alignment are proposed; areas through which international cooperation on water could be reinvigorated or redirected through an appreciation of the Bandung Principles: international cooperation, equity, the human right to water and dispute settlement. We propose that the Bandung Principles could serve as a potential framework to support a more inclusive and equitable water future.
