Review Quotes: "The book, The World Bank Policy for Projects on International Waterways: An Historical and Legal Analysis, written by Dr Salman M. A. Salman, a Lead Counsel at the World Bank, is a timely publication on the historical, legal and policy aspects of the riparian rights of states under World Bank-funded or supported projects affecting international waterways. Pitted against World Bank safeguard policies relating to international waterways and drawing heavily on the principles of public international law, the book focuses on the cooperative management of the aforesaid riparian rights. [. . . .] In summary, the book is well-researched and well-written and it contributes tremendously to the evolving regime of international water law." - Kenneth K. Mwenda, Water Policy 13 (2011) 588-590.
