Water Law

Dr. Salman started working on water law for the World Bank in 1994, and was the first

lawyer to be appointed by the World Bank as the Water Law Adviser. He handled in that

capacity a vast array of issues on national and international water law and policy,

including giving advice on and assisting with water legislation, water institutions, water

environmental issues, international water treaties and conventions, international water

disputes, dam safety legislation, as well as water resources projects, particularly the

interpretation and application of the World Bank Policy for Projects on International

Waterways.

Dr. Salman organized a number of conferences at the World Bank on major water issues,

including International Watercourses, Groundwater, Water Users’ Associations, and

Institutional Reform on Irrigation and Drainage, and had convened, spoken at, and

chaired many sessions during the annual World Bank Water Weeks (1993 to 2009).

He handled a number of complex water assignments for the Bank including the Baglihar

difference over the Indus River (India/Pakistan), the dispute over the Pulp Mills Projects

on the Uruguay River (Argentina/Uruguay), the Bujagali Hydropower Project on the Nile

in Uganda, and the Red Sea Dead Sea Water Conveyance Study. He was the Manager of

the Water Legislation and National Strategies Window of the World Bank Netherlands

Water Partnership Program (BNWPP) (2000 – 2009).

Dr. Salman assisted in the preparation of water legislation in a number of countries

including Bhutan, Kazakhstan, Malawi, Namibia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and

Yemen. He also assisted with the preparation of the legal instruments for water users’

associations in a number of countries in Central Asia, South Asia, Africa and the Middle

East, gave presentations on this topic to a number of governmental officials, famers’

organizations, and academic institutions, and led the work in this area for some time in

the Gezira Scheme in the Sudan (2002 – 2010).

He also assisted with the preparation, negotiations and finalization of a number of water

treaties, including the SADC Protocol, the Senegal Water Charter, and the Guarani

Aquifer Memorandum of Understanding. He was also a member of the international

water lawyers’ team that helped explain and propagate the UN Watercourses Convention

until its entry into force in August 2014.

Operational Work

Before his designation to handle water law in 1993, Dr. Salman worked as an operational

lawyer, handling development projects for a number of countries, including China,

Malaysia, Mongolia, Korea (East Asia), India and Bangladesh (South Asia), and

Botswana, Somalia and Tanzania (Africa), focusing mainly on water supply, irrigation,

agriculture and rural development projects (1983–1993). He participated in that capacity

in a number of preparation, appraisal and supervision missions, and drafted and

negotiated the legal documents for such projects. He handled similar operational work

with IFAD (1981 – 1983) for a number of African, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries

including Botswana, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Jordan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,

Yemen and Zambia.

Safeguard Policies

In addition to water law, Dr. Salman worked (1997 – 2009) as an adviser on the World

Bank environmental and social safeguard policies (environmental assessment, natural

habitats, physical cultural resources, forests, pesticides, safety of dams, involuntary

resettlement, indigenous peoples, disputed areas and international waterways, as well as

the disclosure policy), with special emphasis on the international law principles

associated therewith. Dr. Salman assisted the Bank Task Teams with the interpretation

and application of those policies, and provided extensive training to the staff thereon. He

was a member of the World Bank Team that prepared the Bank’s Policy on Involuntary

Resettlement (2001), as well as the Sourcebook on the Policy (2005); and was the co-

author of the Bank’s Policy on Indigenous Peoples (2005), and one of the authors of the

Guidebook on the Policy (2010). He presented and discussed this Policy at a number of

global forums, including the UN Commission for Human Rights, UN Permanent Forum

on Indigenous Issues, and at roundtable discussions with NGOs and Indigenous Peoples

organizations. He provided extensive training on the safeguard policies to the Bank

headquarters and field staff, as well as governments’ officials from varying countries and

NGOs and academic institutions.

In connection with his work on the safeguard policies, Dr. Salman was the legal member

of the Bank teams that addressed the work of (i) the World Commission on Dams Report

(Dams and Development, A New Framework for Decision-making, 2000), (ii) the

Extractive Industries Review (2003), and (iii) the Narmada Dam and Water Projects that

preceded the safeguard policies (1992–2004). He also worked on a number of Inspection

Panel cases including Mumbai Urban Transport Project, and Ecodevelopment Project

(India), Lesotho Highlands Water Project (Lesotho/South Africa), Third Power, Fourth

Power, and Bujagali Hydro-power Projects (Uganda), and Arun Hydropower (Nepal).

He served as a member of the Legal Vice Presidency Human Rights Team (2002- 2007),

that outlined the World Bank approach to human rights in its projects and policy work,

and co-authored the book on the Human Right to Water (see Publications Below).

Faculty of Law of the University of Khartoum (1978-1981), and chaired a number of

academic committees, including the Curriculum Revision Committee, the Research

Committee, as well as the Library Committee. He also worked as a teaching assistant at

the same Faculty of Law (1972-1977).

He was a visiting professor with the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in

Kuala Lumpur, May – June 2013, where he gave lectures, reviewed the syllabus of the

Law school and made recommendations thereon, advised graduate students, and wrote a

He was an external examiner for PhD and Masters degree thesis with a number of

universities including Pacific McGeorge Law School; University of Dundee Centre for

Water Law, Policy and Science; Loyola University of Chicago Law School; and

University, American University, Johns Hopkins University, New York University,

Texas University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Geneva,
