Equitable utilisation and the Sample Clauses

Equitable utilisation and the. No harm rule’ Equitable utilisation is included in the Agreement through article 5, but traces of it can also be found in article 1, through the aim of optimizing benefits. The integration of the definition of ‘reasonable and equitable use’ based on the 1966 Helsinki rules makes the Mekong Agreement the first (and reportedly the only) international agreement to adopt this precise definition.226 The principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity in the utilisation and protection of water resources are emphasised in Article 4 of the Mekong Agreement.
