The "Water Security" Principle Under Nile Basin CFA

More about the book

The book explores the complexities of international water law, focusing on the Nile Basin and the establishment of the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) aimed at equitable water use among riparian countries. It highlights the tension between Egypt and other nations regarding the ambiguous "Water Security Principle," which threatens to reinforce Egypt's historical dominance. The author argues that this principle undermines the fundamental goal of equitable resource sharing, potentially leading to prolonged negotiations without resolution and a stagnation of cooperative efforts.
