Özet:

 

Historically, international law governing the utilisation of transboundary freshwater  resources has been concerned with the issue of water allocation between riparian states. The  first major recorded water dispute of legal significance dates back to 1895, when Mexico  charged the Unites States of America with diverting water from the Rio Grande in violation of  international law.1   Before it eventually led to an agreement between Mexico and the US in  1906,2   the US Attorney General Judson Harmon had delivered a legal opinion on the state of  international law, which set the scene for years to come.  3   What became known as the Harmon  Doctrine  the theory of absolute territorial sovereignty, granting a riparian state complete  freedom of action with respect to the portion of an international river within its own territory  regardless of its harmful consequences for other riparian states 4   attracted another opposing  extreme; the theory of absolute territorial integrity, favourable to lower riparian states.5  Nevertheless, international law has since developed in such a way as to ensure equitable  resolutions of international water disputes under the theory of limited territorial sovereignty.
