ABSTRACT In spite of groundwater’s growing importance, the 2008 Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers have yet to be fully adopted by the international community. As states contemplate the future of the draft articles, this article aims to reassess them through the lens of the legal principle of reciprocity. To do so, this article provides a framework for the analysis of law via reciprocity, followed by its application to the draft articles. Although this article primarily finds that they follow a reciprocal structure, it also identifies areas to be revisited, including sovereignty and recharge zone states.

从互惠的角度重新评估跨界含水层法条款草案

摘要 尽管地下水的重要性日益增加，但 2008 年跨界含水层法条款草案尚未得到国际社会的充分通过。当各国考虑条款草案的未来时，本文旨在通过互惠法律原则的视角重新评估它们。为此，本条提供了通过互惠分析法律的框架，然后将其适用于条款草案。尽管本文主要发现它们遵循互惠结构，但它也确定了需要重新审视的领域，包括主权和补给区国家。
