Why a Convention? 
  
- Lake Tanganyika is special
  
 - Lake Tanganyika is threatened
  
 - Existing national legislation regarding the lake is inadequate
  
 - A convention provides the necessary rights, responsibilities, institutions and framework in international law which compels the countries to cooperate in the management of Lake Tanganyika
