讲座简介：
虽然国际水法领域的生态环境保护原则是否已经成为国际习惯法规则，学界仍有一定争议，但是McIntyre教授在该讲座中，尝试通过大量的国家条约实践和国际法院判例，证明环境保护原则的法律地位。此外，他还将对该原则中的一个重要概念，即生态系统服务进行重点阐释。
Although the principle of environmental protection of international watercourses has been reflected in the UN Convention on the Law Governing the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, international lawyers are still divided on the question regarding its legal status. In this lecture, Prof. McIntyre, citing numerous international instruments, instances of state practice, and judicial decisions by international tribunals, aims to examine its legal status in international law. In addition, this lecture will place a special focus on ecosystem services, a key concept in the analysis of this principle.
