埃塞俄比亚于2011年开始建设的埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝（GERD）对埃及和苏丹主张的尼罗河沃茨现有权利和使用权提出了重大挑战。通过争取时间的渐进方法，埃塞俄比亚成功地使GERD成为现实，四年后，2015年，三个国家签署了两项文书：《原则宣言》和《喀土穆文件》。本文追溯并跟踪了自2011年以来关于GERD的发展，以及与埃及和苏丹的争端升级，讨论了这两项文书，并分析了由此产生的新法律的秩序。报告最后审查了由于沿岸国的单方面发展计划而放弃的机会以及通过合作获得的机会。
ABSTRACT The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which Ethiopia started constructing in 2011, presented major challenges to the notion of existing rights and uses of the Nile waters asserted by Egypt and Sudan. Through an incremental approach based on gaining time, Ethiopia succeeded in making the GERD a reality, bolstered four years later, in 2015, by the signature by the three countries of two instruments: the Declaration of Principles and the Khartoum Document. The article traces and follows the developments regarding the GERD since 2011, and the escalation of the dispute thereon with Egypt and Sudan, discusses the two instruments, and analyzes the new legal order emanating therefrom. It concludes with an examination of the opportunities forgone as a result of the riparians’ unilateral development plans, and those to be gained through cooperation.
