The chief international legal document related to international water resources management is the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses [adopted by the UN General Assembly in May 1997]. (See the press release for who voted and who did not. Some interesting insights!) This has largely superceded the "Helsinki Agreement" (Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes Helsinki [Helsinki, 17 March 1992]) although there are a number of international agreements which were based on the Helsinki Agreement.

in the territory marked as international waters There is no law since it's not owned by anyone. You are even allowed to start your own country in international waters. A few English started their own state on a dril island that was set in international waters by mistake. it's called sealand.

when there's water between two states, like oceans, seas and stuff, international law provides for what constitutes territorial sea.. Art.3 of the 1982 convention establishes the breadth of the territorial sea at a limit "not exceeding 12 nautical miles"
