The Human Rights to Water and Sanitation

The human rights to water and sanitation have gained increasing recognition over the last twenty years. By now, it is well acknowledged that they part of the body of international human rights law. In this lecture, Inga Winkler traces the process of recognition of the human rights to water and sanitation and discusses their status under international human rights law. She presents how these rights have been defined, discusses their normative content, and outlines the corresponding obligations to realise these rights. Finally, she examines the implications of the human rights to sanitation and water for law, policy and practice.
