The Centre for Water Law, Policy & Science will organise its 7th Annual International Law and Transboundary Freshwater Training Workshop in Dundee, from 27-30th June 2016. Through a series of lectures from experienced water law experts, case studies and group exercises the workshop provides participants with the opportunity to: a) gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of key legal rules and principles that apply to transboundary waters, including the 1997 UN Watercourses Convention, the 1992 UNECE Water Convention and the 2008 ILC Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers; b) examine both the challenges and lessons learnt in the implementation of law relating to transboundary waters across a range of settings; and c) share experiences and best practice in the negotiation, design and implementation of laws relating to transboundary waters. The workshop is designed to benefit a range of experts (lawyers and non-lawyers) working on transboundary water issues from across the world, including those from government, international organisations, civil society groups, universities, research institutes and private companies. For additional information or to book your place, please visit http://www.dundee.ac.uk/water/events/. For general enquiries please contact Jaclyn Scott (j.e.z.scott@dundee.ac.uk).
