so, council ratified this convention today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe convention has a lot of benefit for Nigeria because of our numerous trans-boundary waters; we need to strengthen cooperation with members with who we share the same basin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c In addition to the fact that we are members of the Niger Basin Authority and the Benue River Commission, joining the international convention will give us a better recognition and we will have a better bargaining power for lots of issues that have to do with trans-boundary waters.\u2019\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adamu said that the ratification also rhymed with Nigeria\u2019s efforts to achieve the sustainable <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/10\/26\/lao-govt-aims-to-promote-food-security-rural-development\/\">development<\/a> <\/strong>goals; specifically Goal 6.5 with the need to consolidate existing cooperation with neighbouring countries and the issues of ground water and trans-boundary waters.<\/p>\n<p>He said trans-boundary waters might be ground water and surface water.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are the third country within the Niger Basin Authority to accede after Chad and Cameroun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that subsequently other countries would also join this convention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an international convention and we are putting our footprints there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe process took about a year; we have gone through many zonal workshops, national workshops and road shows and it has got the buy-in of all stakeholders,\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2019 He said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said that the Attorney-General of the Federation would prepare the instrument of ratification.<\/p>\n<p>Our correspondent reports that the UN <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/10\/11\/kwara-assembly-tasks-lgcs-on-debt-recovery\/\">General Assembly<\/a><\/strong> in 1997, an overwhelming majority of States voted for the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses \u2013 a global overarching framework governing the rights and duties of States sharing freshwater systems.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, there are 263 internationally shared watersheds, which drain the territories of 145 countries and represent more than 40 per cent of the Earth\u2019s land surface.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, inter-State cooperation towards the sustainable management of transboundary water supplies, in accordance with applicable international legal instruments, is a topic of crucial importance, especially in the context of the current global water crisis.<\/p>\n<p>This volume\u00a0provides an assessment of the role and relevance of the UN Watercourses Convention and describes and evaluates its entry into force as a key component of transboundary water governance.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Convention still requires further contracting States before it can enter into force.<\/p>\n<p>The authors describe the drafting and negotiation of the Convention and its relationship to other multilateral environmental agreements.<\/p>\n<p>A series of case studies assess the role of the Convention at various levels: regional (European Union, East Africa, West Africa, Central Asia, Central America and South America), river basin (e.g. the Mekong and Congo) and national (e.g. Ethiopia and Mexico).<\/p>\n<p>The book concludes by proposing how future implementation might further strengthen international cooperation in the management of water resources, to promote biodiversity conservation as well as sustainable and equitable use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has ratified the UN Water Convention on the Protection and use of Trans-Border Water Course and International Lakes.
