Looking beyond the ‘watercourse’: reconceptualising key norms of the law of international watercourses as obligations erga omnes

New to the neighbourhood, bringing the law of international watercourses to where skies are blue. 1. A comprehensive assessment of preambles in transboundary watercourse agreements. 2. Erga omnes obligations of international water law (on the cusp of turning that crazy idea into reality).
Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here's mine:
- Whether we can have statehood without inhabitable land.
- The legal-philosophical symbolism in Wagner's Ring.
