It then assesses the effectiveness of Egyptian policies, laws and regulations with regard to sustainable development and culminates with recommendations on how to move towards more sustainable water management, which is one of the most urgent aspects of sustainable development that needs to be improved. Egypt is confronting an increasing problem of water scarcity. It is a developing economy with high population growth. The effects of climate change are predicted to be particularly severe in North African states, with a decrease in rainfall and increasing desertification and drought. Additionally, in Egypt, every year viable agricultural land is lost to urban encroachment. Yet, Egypt's current policies do not adequately address these issues. Environmental laws are outdated and at times remain unenforced and unregulated. Furthermore, laws do not include sustainable development goals that target poverty reduction and other factors which undermine adherence to current policies. In light of the 25 January 2011 Revolution in Egypt, the creation of new environmental policies that incorporate sustainable development goals, as well as their subsequent enforcement, now seems attainable. As Egypt moves towards democratization, enforcement of law is more likely to translate to sustainable development practices.

That does not mean, however, that the mechanism is free of defects, as while the legislatures and scholars were working on enhancing the mechanism, they disregarded the basic principles of the rule of law. This thesis points to emphasize the imbalance between the advantages of the arbitration mechanism and the respect of the principles of law. It typifies the effects of this imbalance on the mechanism as a whole. It also suggests some solutions that do not diminish the advantages of the mechanism, but enhance congruence between the mechanism and the legal principles. The thesis, by focusing on a new problem that began to appear, aims to encourage legislatures and scholars to reconsider their liberal approaches with regard to arbitration rules amendments.
