ABSTRACT
When the UN Watercourses Convention (UNWC) was passed, all votes among Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states were in favor, except for the abstention from Tanzania, and the absence from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. 1 No SADC country voted against the Convention. Of the 15 SADC member states, to date, only Namibia and South Africa are parties to the Convention.
