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

This book inquires into the effectiveness of regional and environmental law frameworks in the Lake Victoria Basin. Such an inquiry in the context of trans-boundary resource cooperation 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 however clear 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 for institutional implementation.
