International Legal Protection Of International Rivers And Their Use For Non-Navigational Purposes, The "Nile River" الحماية القانونية الدولية للأنهار الدولية واستخدامها في الأغراض غير الملاحية " نهر النيل "

Until recently, international law governing rivers was mostly unknown. As a result, there have only been a few agreements that coordinate maritime regulation in international rivers. Nevertheless, in light of technology and scientific advances, onshore countries' interests expanded beyond navigation in mutual international rivers to include other uses such as power generation, fishing, dam construction, and river stream diversion. As far as international rivers are concerned, such an issue creates several questions about the rights of each state in relation to the other onshore states, as well as their reciprocal obligations. The problem of the Renaissance Dam has attracted the attention of the international community to the importance of looking at the international potable water crisis. This article is based on legal analytical approaches used to examine the legal dimensions of international rivers on the Nile River. This aim will be achieved by addressing the following issues: international river use regulations, hence the rights of riparian states, the No-Harm Principle, the principle of equitable and reasonable exploitation, and the legal status of the Nile River.
