The Geneva Water Hub and the Platform for International Water Law of the Faculty of Law of the AVƵ have the pleasure to announce the publication of the Geneva List of Principles on the Protection of Water Infrastructure with its Commentaries.

On the occasion of the presentation of the Geneva List, a new interpretation of the Symphony for Water and Peace was launched. This new version was played by two Swedish artists, Ms Åsa Larsson and Mr Rasmus Diamant. As the has been composed progressively as the GHLPWP convenes in different continents, this new interpretation symbolizes a step for the implementation of the Panel’s recommendations.  Indeed, the Geneva Water Hub believes that art, and in particular music, is a powerful symbol and inspiration for all efforts to make water a source of cooperation and peace.
