Abstract: There are serious problems related to the use and conservation of international rivers. Riparian nations tend to use their waters and to transfer negative impacts, such as pollution, to other countries. This paper examines the work of the International Law Commission as it seeks to elaborate a framework convention for the use and conservation of shared watercourses. Although this task is still in progress, basic substantive principles such as ‘equitable apportionment’ and ‘prohibition against appreciable harm’ seem to be widely agreed upon. The immediate need is the development of and the agreement on, procedural systems for conflict resolution.
