在新的世纪开始时,人类发展的一个最基本条件尚未得到满足:普遍获得基本供水服务。超过10亿人无法获得安全饮用水。25亿人生活在缺乏适当的卫生系统的环境中,而这些系统是减少与水有关的疾病所必需的。国际援助界、国家和地方组织未能满足这些基本的人类需求,导致了大量的、不必要的和可预防的人类痛苦。每天有成千上万的人,其中大多数是儿童和老人,死于与水有关的疾病。这种情况是不可容忍的、不必要的和可以预防的。在我的论文中,我希望回答基本问题:获得水是一项基本人权吗?在那里“人权”具有充分的法律的意义。《尼泊尔水》,第9 -10卷,第1 -2期,2003年,第115 -149页
The new century has begun with one of the most fundamental conditions of human development unmet: universal access to basic water services. More than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Two-and-a-half-billion people live without access to the adequate sanitation systems necessary to reduce exposure to water-related diseases. The failure of the international aid community, nations, and local organizations to satisfy these basic human needs has led to substantial, unnecessary, and preventable human suffering. Tens of thousand of people, mostly young children and the elderly, die every day from water-related diseases. This situation is intolerable, unnecessary and preventable. In my paper, I hope to answer the fundamental questions: Is access to water a fundamental human right? Where 'human right' takes on its full legal meaning.
