1997 TARİHLİ “BİRLEŞMİŞ MİLLETLER ULUSLARARASI SUYOLLARININ SEYRÜSEFER-DIŞI KULLANIM HUKUKUNA İLİŞKİN SÖZLEŞME”NİN YÜRÜRLÜĞE GİRİŞİNE DAİR KISA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

BM Suyolları Sözleşmesi, nihayet, kabûlünden 17 yıl sonra, 17 Ağustos 2014 tarihinde yürürlüğe girmiştir. Evrenselliğinin şüphesi ve uygulanabilirliği, görüldüğü üzere, sürmektedir. Bu kısa çalışmada, Sözleşmenin yürürlüğe girişinden sonraki muhtemel hukukî statüsü değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu itibarla, konunun incelenmesi şu şekilde düzenlenmiş dört kısımdan oluşmaktadır: - Sözleşmenin maddelerinin değerlendirilmesi, - Sözleşmenin devletler tarafından reddedilen maddelerinin irdelenmesi, - Sözleşmenin uluslararası örf ve âdet kuralı teşkil edip etmediği, - Sözleşmenin yürürlüğe girişi bağlamında ve sonrasında hukukî statüsü.

A SHORT ESSAY RELATING TO THE 1997 UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF NON-NAVIGATIONAL USES OF INTERNATIONAL WATERCOURSES ABOUT ITS ENTRY INTO FORCE

The UN Watercourses Convention has finally entered into force on 17 August 2014 after 17 years of its conclusion. However, doubts and shadows over its universality and applicability, as it seems, have remained intact. In this short essay, we will consider its probable legal status after its entry into force. Hence, it is suggested to discuss this matter in four parts, arranged as follows: - Presentation of its articles, - Elaboration of objected articles by states, - Whether or not of its being international custom, - Legal status according to and after its entry into force.
