Wayne law review marks 100 years of border treaty

DETROIT (AP) -- The Boundary Waters Treaty that has governed relations between the U.S. and Canada for a century is the focus of a special edition of the law review at Wayne State University. The Wayne Law Review special issue is an outgrowth of a 2009 symposium at the Detroit school and is free online. The Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 created the International Joint Commission, an independent body to avoid or solve boundary water disputes between Canada and the U.S. The commission considers applications for projects such as dams and regulates many such projects. It also has duties under the 1972 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement to oversee environmental issues. ------------------ On the Net: Wayne Law Review special edition: http://j.mp/cppuPs Published: Tue, Feb 16, 2010
