AbstractThe chapter addresses the no-harm principle as a core pillar of the international water law regime, and its inter-relationship with the principles of equitable and reasonable utilisation and cooperation. No harm will be described in its harmonised relation to the latter two principles under the "community interest" approach to transboundary watercourses, as enunciated by the Permanent Court of International Justice and later corroborated by the International Court of Justice. Such a harmonised construction of the three-pronged body of international water law will be illustrated as one disproving any alleged priority or, conversely, subservience of either principle with respect to the others. It will also be shown how the same construction emphasises the integration and inter-relationship between the legal principles at hand.
