“…The universally felt negative impacts of human economic activity have led to increased treaty-based cooperation in general. And in the context of the management of transboundary waters, they have led to the recognition of cooperation as a general principle in international water law and continue the trend of environmentalization of international law through increased focus on integrated ecosystem management (Boisson de Chazournes, 2013). States establish rules of cooperation and agree to limit the scope of their sovereignty because cooperation creates new opportunities.…”

Analyzing the dynamics of international cooperation, this article describes the role of international law in the process. It illustrates that international law is a tool to achieve mutually beneficial relations and can be a driver for cooperation. Describing how these dynamics apply in the context of cooperation on transboundary rivers, the article traces the emergence of the general duty to cooperate in international water law as a legal response to the interdependence and coordination requirements in the management and development of shared water resources.

“…56 Entretanto, uma parcela da doutrina estabelece que, como as águas subterrâneas, os canais podem apenas compor um curso d'água internacional de forma subsidiária. 57 Essa limitação do escopo geográfico se dá por meio do próximo elemento da definição a ser analisado, a partir de uma análise de razoabilidade contido na ideia da desembocadura comum, não havendo inicialmente qualquer limitação ao enquadramento do Silala enquanto um curso d'água internacional no que se refere ao primeiro elemento da definição abordada.…”

O presente trabalho visa compreender quais as eventuais consequências do enquadramento ou não do Silala, recurso hídrico compartilhado pelo Chile e pela Bolívia, na definição jurídica de curso d’água internacional. A principal hipótese proposta é de que a elemento do todo unitário do conceito de cursos d’água internacionais não obsta o enquadramento do Silala nessa categoria jurídica. Ainda assim, o elemento da desembocadura comum torna necessária a análise das características geográficas desse recurso hídrico transfronteiriço para que um parecer mais claro possa ser proferido, visto que se trata de um índice de razoabilidade apenas verificável perante uma situação concreta.

“…25 The opposing view nevertheless reiterates that in order to properly develop obligations under right to water and give them precise meaning, the human right to water must be recognized firstly, and clarified under international law. 26 General Comment No. 15 therefore provides an essential input in both of these aspects, and its impact cannot be dismissed.…”

Summary The paper aims firstly to assess the deficiencies in access to drinking water that are present in Slovakia. Recently, the country was condemned for various violations in ensuring access to drinking water for all, whether by third parties, but also national institutions and international organizations. Drawing upon the identified failures and violations, the actions undertaken to remedy the situation are analysed, especially in order to establish whether Slovakia dispenses with its obligations under the human right to water and addresses the identified problems satisfactorily. Finally, the process of public procurement in providing drinking water is considered, having regard to its role in promptness and efficiency of addressing the unsatisfactory situation which makes Slovakia open to severe criticism from international human rights bodies.
