Access to water has been recognized as an international human right at least since 2010, when both the United Nations General Assembly and the Human Rights Council adopted resolutions to this effect. The no significant harm principle can be found in the UN Watercourses Convention, and in numerous other global, regional, and watercourse-specific treaties. This paper provides an explanation of how the no significant harm principle and the human right to water supplement each other, by jointly protecting both the State and the individual from significant harm done, by another State, to a watercourse on which they depend. The dispute between Chile and Bolivia relating to the status and use of the Silala waters is used as a case study, to illustrate the way in which these two international legal regimes (international water law and international human rights law) supplement each other.

无重大伤害原则与水权

至少自 2010 年联合国大会和人权理事会通过了这方面的决议以来，获得水资源就被视为一项国际人权。在联合国水道公约以及许多其他全球性、区域性和特定于水道的条约中可以找到无重大损害原则。本文通过共同保护国家和个人免受另一国对其所依赖的水道造成的重大损害，解释了无重大损害原则和享有水的人权如何相互补充。智利和玻利维亚之间关于锡拉拉水域的地位和使用的争端被用作案例研究，
