Kajaki dam construction and development on Hirmand/Helmand river affected the upstream and downstream of the river in a different situation. This construction project has been bringing lots of advantages for Afghanistan, on the other hand, Iran dealing with the majority of negative effects caused by the Kajaki dam development. Moreover, the lack of an environmental approach on the Hirmand water treaty 1973 limited the environmental obligation of the upstream state.Thus, the conduction of a new bilateral treaty with a focus on environmental issues instead of the current treaty will be decrease plenty of environmental problems and codify applicable regulation regarding environmental conservation. In this respect, to achieve the mentioned purposes parties should conduct the new treaty with the focus of an international environmental law principle, the precautionary principle due to its function and extension will be a great option to reach the environmental purposes.

The adverse effects of the Covid-19 on the environment became a potential source of threats to the natural environment and human life. While a short range of temporal improvements can be seen during lockdown measures, but the virus is spreading out quickly among human societies and wildlife habitats.in this situation international environmental law plays a vital role to adjust the legal interaction between the Covid-19 pandemic and state obligations. Regarding international law instruments, all countries are liable to the transmission of the virus and they should have taken precautionary measures. however, they do not meet the same obligations in this case. According to the common but differentiated principle (CBDR) although each state has the responsibility to participate on the protection of the environment from the global crisis, developed states due to their financial resources and technological facilities deal with a wider range of responsibilities.
