COMMON BUT DIFFERENTIATED RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CASE OF UPSTREAM DAM CONSTRUCTION ON INTERNATIONAL WATERWAYS WITH A FOCUS ON THE SOUTHEAST ANATOLIA PROJECT DAM (GAP)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The passage of international waters through upstream countries has always been an issue of great importance for downstream countries. The construction of dams in upstream countries can have a significant impact and lead to a reduction in water flow and environmental problems in downstream countries. In this article, the principle of common but differentiated responsibility in the case of upstream dam construction on international waterways, with a focus on the Southeast Anatolia Project dam, is examined. This article shows that upstream countries have a responsibility to protect the environment and the rights of downstream countries, based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibility in international law. This principle is recognized as an important legal principle for the preservation of the world's water resources. This article aims to examine the legal dimensions of the Southeast Anatolia Project by using an analytical approach and information has been collected in the library form with goal of prompting global peace and security.
