Le Green Cros félicite le Tchad pour la ratification de la Convention de l'ONU sur les cours d'eau
Green Cross commends Chad’s ratification of UN Watercourses Convention
1 October, 2012 - Geneva: Green Cross International (GCI) welcomes the decision by the Republic of Chad to ratify the United Nations Watercourses Convention, the only global legal instrument governing the world’s international watercourses.
Chad is the 28th State party to the Convention, which must be ratified by 35 countries to enter into force. Benin, Denmark and Luxemburg completed their accession process earlier this year. The Italian Senate ratified it in August.
“It is great news that Chad decided to join the UN Watercourses Convention, which entry into force will become a reality very soon,” says Marie-Laure Vercambre, Director of the GCI Water for Life and Peace Programme. “The snowball effect we are witnessing makes us believe that the Convention will reach the 35 required State parties for its entry into force in 2013, the Year of International Water Cooperation by the United Nations.”
