International Watercourses Convention
Fabian Hamilton
2008-01-22
That this House notes that water is the source of life and that many poor communities around the world rely upon fresh water in rivers and lakes for their livelihoods; recognises international concern that the over-exploitation of water resources and the consequences of climate change will place serious strain on rivers and lakes in the future; is concerned that pre-existing political tensions in fragile parts of the world could be exacerbated by competing claims for limited freshwater sources; acknowledges the need to promote dialogue between nations with shared river and lake catchments in order to encourage their equitable and sustainable use and protection; further notes that the Japanese Prime Minister has recently pledged that water and climate change will be important issues in next year's G8 meeting; further notes that in May 1997 the UK Government was a co-sponsor of the UN Convention on the Law of Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses which seeks to promote effective water resource management and to reduce potential conflict over access to water; further notes that 16 other countries have now ratified the Convention, including Germany which signed in 2007; and calls upon the UK Government to accede without delay to the Convention and to use its principles to guide wider water resources programmes, at domestic and international levels.
