Realizing the Right to Water and Sanitation at the International and National Levels: The Case of India

The right to water and sanitation is a crucial challenge that many countries face today, and has been recognised in general policy terms and legal terms. This book analyses the right to water and sanitation at both the international and national levels, focusing on the recognition of the right in human rights instruments, the water and sanitation content of other human rights, and the other international law instruments whose content impacts the realisation of the right. The Indian experience provides the basis for recommendations concerning the content of the right and its realisation in practice, and for conclusions concerning the link between the national and international legal regimes.

The realization of the human right to water and sanitation is a critical challenge that many countries face today. This has been acknowledged in broad policy terms through the inclusion of a water and sanitation goal in the Millennium Development Goals, and in legal terms, there has been steady progress towards recognizing the right. As a result, the human right to water and sanitation is now firmly recognized in several countries and is gaining increasing acceptance at the international level, although it has not yet been explicitly included in one of the general human rights treaties.

This book analyzes the right to water and sanitation at both the international and national levels. In the international legal dimension, the book focuses on the recognition of the right in human rights instruments, the water and sanitation content of other human rights, such as the rights to health, food, and equality, and other international law instruments whose content impacts the realization of the right to water and sanitation, such as the Water and Health Protocol to the UNECE Watercourses Convention.

At the national level, the book examines India, a country where the existence of a fundamental right to water and sanitation is largely uncontested. The book examines the law in India relating to both recognition and realization of the rights. The book considers the complex legal framework in place at the union and state levels for realizing the right in both rural and urban areas. The book also examines ongoing and proposed reforms to the law and policy in India.

The lessons from the Indian experience provide the basis for proffering a series of recommendations concerning the content of the right and its realization in practice. The Indian experience demonstrates that the right to water and sanitation is not just a legal entitlement. It is a social and economic right. It is a human right. It is a political. It is a cultural. It is a environmental. It is a developmental. It is a collective. It is a sustainable. It is a just.

In conclusion, the realization of the human right to water and sanitation is a critical challenge that requires urgent action. It is essential to recognize the right to water and sanitation as a fundamental human right, and to ensure its realization through the adoption of policies, laws, and practices that promote access to safe and clean water and sanitation for all. The Indian experience provides valuable lessons for other countries in the pursuit of this goal
