The management of transboundary water resources has been experiencing a transformation over the last decades. Treaties on international water resources do no longer only regulate State-to-State relations; individuals, communities and non-governmental organizations - referred as “non-State actors” -, have started to become a subject of these instruments too. The involvement of non-State actors has been acknowledged as one of the key elements for the achievement of sustainable and integrated water resource management. The realization of this objective depends not only on inter-State cooperation but also on opportunities for non-State actors to participate in the decision-making processes. Legal and political science literature have shown the increasing role of non-State actors and the interaction between different levels of governance, whether at the international, regional or domestic level. In this respect, there is a need to define and assess the legal norms dealing with the participation of individuals, communities, and non-governmental organizations and to explore issues relating to accountability resulting from the increasing participation of non-State actors.The various aspects of participation of non-State actors in water resource management have not yet been studied carefully and systematically from an international law perspective. This is the case for example, with the right to access to available information on the quality of water resources with a view to facilitating the monitoring of compliance with objectives established in international treaties, as well as the duty to consult local populations during an environmental impact assessment. Rights and entitlements of individuals and communities in water resource management often are overlooked, even though such rights are increasingly included in agreements regulating the use of international watercourses, as well as in other instruments of international law. Issues such as access to information, transparency and involvement of the public in planning and decision-making processes are becoming key features in international practice. Their content will be assessed in the proposed research.Access to judicial and non-judicial mechanisms is another element of public participation. In this context, the proposed research will pay attention to mechanisms open to individuals at the domestic and regional levels as well as to norms and practice dealing with access to remedies for individuals and communities that are affected by transboundary harm. In particular, the implications of treaty practice on civil liability for non-State actors in transboundary water resource management will be examined. Although there have been some recent developments, uncertainty persists with respect to issues of civil liability and compensation to victims suffering from transboundary harm. The project also intends to define rights and entitlements of individuals and communities with respect to water projects funded by international financial institutions. An analysis of the practice of these institutions will in turn contribute to the definition of norms concerning participation of non-State actors in water resource management at the national level.
