Documentary abstract — original language
The obligation not to cause significant harm is a substantive principle of international water law, an operative principle of customary law, and it is codified in the 1997 UN Watercourses Convention. The no significant harm principle is inherently flexible in nature. This normative indeterminacy is important; it recognizes that no two watercourses are quite the same, each having its own unique mix of uses and vulnerabilities to water quantity and quality threats. This flexibility also means that it can comprehend harm to cultural values associated with rivers as an eligible class of harm. Recognizing this normative potential can assist States to protect cultural values and to improve transboundary river protection.
