Promoting Effective Refugee Protection in India: Balancing National Interests and International Obligations

In the background of the climate change, we estimate that one of the problems that humanity is to face in the near future concerns natural resources. In our view, water is one of the resources that will become increasingly important in the coming years by being on the way to diminishing. Force majeure events such as the vegetation fires or floods in the summer of 2023 show us that people and nature must be friends. Given that drinking water is vital for human existence, we believe that the proposed topic is of general interest and should be of concern not only to public authorities, but to the entire scientific community and to individuals, which makes it topical and important. The scope of the study is to analyse the issue of water, which means that, on the one hand, we will investigate the national regulatory framework but also comparative law to know how the legislator relates to water and, on the other hand, we will capture the current international trends in this field. By using research methods specific to law, we will underline the conclusion of our paperwork, that the protection of water resources is the responsibility of all of us: individuals, authorities, states, taking into consideration present and future generations.
