At a debate on water, peace and security recently held in New York, the US, Anh said climate change,
pollution, degradation in water resources, unsustainable use and unreasonable
allocation of water resources could pose risks to regional security.
Anh urged concerned countries to
consider building cooperation frameworks and a Code of Conduct on sustainable
management and use of water resources, thus ensuring interests of upstream and
downstream countries.
Vietnam wishes that countries would share
experience and strengthen financial and technical support while the United
Nations Security Council would facilitate the implementation of the 1997 United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International
Watercourses.
Representatives underlined the
importance of trans-border cooperation as part of preventive diplomacy and
paying attention to forecast, preparedness and response.
They urged the UN to strengthen its role
in achieving 17 sustainable development goals, especially ensuring the
availability and sustainable management of water resources and improving
hygiene for all citizens.
They called for promoting water cooperation via
multilateral mechanisms such as the UN Water and the Global High-Level Panel on
Water and Peace, as well as respecting international law on water, including
the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of
International Watercourses.
