Water as a weapon of international confrontations

According to the UN Secretary General, « ensuring food security for all will depend on the sustainable use of our most critical finite resource - which is water. » The former Secretary General, Kofi Annan, had warned that « Fierce competition over water resources has prompted fears that water issues contain the seeds of violent conflict. If the entire world's peoples work together, a secure and sustainable water future can be ours. » UNESCO director stated that « More than over land or oil, it is over water that the bitterest conflicts of the near future may be fought. »
