This thesis addresses this gap by defining States’ rights and obligations towards other States and affected populations during dam planning, construction, and operation by analyzing relevant legal instruments and jurisprudence.</p> <p>The first part examines States’ duties toward other States under international water and environmental law, focusing on procedural and substantive obligations during dam planning, construction, and operation. The second part explores States’ human rights obligations toward individuals and communities affected by dams, including the human right to water, and extraterritorially, advocating for a human rights-based approach to safeguard vulnerable populations. By bridging water, environmental, human rights, and humanitarian law, the thesis proposes a comprehensive legal framework for sustainable and cooperative dam development that balances sovereignty, environmental protection, and the rights of affected populations and ecosystems.</p> International water law Dams Transboundary watercourses Human right to water Extraterritorial human rights obligations Water infrastructures River basin organizations Cooperation Dewey 341 98 Département de droit international public et organisation internationale 5E false 503cb096-881c-4280-8469-79c502ef7ef4 Thesis Private Ozge_Turk_Thesis.pdf 4668406 application/pdf beb96dfa8937f0d284a3cb691e9b1c2f98eedd58e817e5967653a2d6ca458d42 fda02f5d-54e6-4a13-b736-66e734293e51 Imprimatur Public TURK_Imprimatur.pdf 251785 application/pdf d171b87986708b01ba49967e86b67e551ee8690eb7b0548f9f4e13beca3b80fb closedAccess Faculté de droit / Département de droit international public et organisation internationale
