- Title
Ko au te Awa, ko te Awa ko au: Incorporating Rights of Nature in International Freshwater Law.
- Authors
Hodder, Emma
- Abstract
This article will examine how assigning legal rights to nature may help to improve the global management framework for transboundary freshwater resources. ¹ This could help to address the global freshwater crisis. The article studies national-level rights of nature developments in New Zealand, Ecuador and the United States, and uses this as a basis to explore how language and principles could be incorporated into international law. Ideas proposed include amendments to the existing international freshwater treaty framework, and adoption of a new universal declaration.
