Global Water Master Classes: Current Course Offerings
Introduction to International Water Law
Course Overview
Water is a complex area of law that often states, governments, and nations find difficult to interpret. Topics such as water conservation, policy, management, trade and investment, and the human right to water have been brought before courts and other judicial bodies for guidance. The cases that have been argued and decided, at both the domestic and national level, are used as the basis for developing a framework for international water law. In this course, you will explore the basic principles, doctrines, and case studies used by water lawyers, scholars, policy makers, and practitioners to interpret the complexities surrounding water.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the basic principles of international water law.
