Abstract
The existence of International water law as fully developed branch of International law raises doubts in lawyers. In this regard the codification of customary rules in this area and the adoption of the UN Convention in 1997 is a very important step towards its recognition. So it might be useful to analyze development of these norms and factors affected such development.
