Trans-Boundary Resource Cooperation in the Lake Victoria Basin: An International Environmental Law Perspective

Product details

This book inquires into the effectiveness of regional and international environmental law frameworks in the Lake Victoria Basin. Such an inquiry in the context of trans-boundary resource co-operation in the Lake Victoria Basin brings to light the anodyne nature of the legal framework and institutions responsible for effective management and trans- boundary co-operation. It is clear however that the solution lies not in the adoption of more laws to regulate diverse trans-boundary aspects of the Lake Victoria Basin but rather in initiating a strong political process that will eventually enhance the quality of extant laws as well as the reach of institutional implementation. This is because the study underscores political will as a pathway to robust legal measures that drive effective trans-boundary resource co-operation in the Lake Victoria Basin.
