Abstract

The Government of Lao PDR is proceeding with the Don Sahong Dam after claiming that it is only required under the 1995 Mekong Agreement to notify neighboring governments, rather than to undergo a prior consultation. This briefing raises some concerns with Laos’ interpretation of the Mekong Agreement and international law.
