(Location: IWMI HQ Call no: e-copy only Record No: H041375)
Nandita Singh and her colleagues look at children’s right to water in India. They argue for the exercise of the right by children by analyzing the universal normative-legal framework and its difference to the local socio-culturally defined framework. They suggest that defining problems and designing actions only within the normative-legal framework can obscure understanding the critical realities at the right-holders’ end. They suggest that interventions at various levels, such as through policy and targeted programmes, have at best provided an ‘enabling environment’, but the process of implementation of children’s rights at the right-holders’ end is to date an incomplete socio-cultural process.

Precious water resources sustain life and are fundamental in processes towards peace and human progress. Conversely, poor stewardship leads to human suffering and conflict. In an era when climate change threatens to dry up entire regions, the social and economic stakes related to water are painfully clear. The lack of access to water causes millions of premature deaths, human misery and lost opportunities. It is a dire and unacceptable reality. The beauty of the vital task to solve the world’s water and sanitation problems is that it is entirely doable. Individual as well as joint action to deal with water scarcity is necessary. It is essential to better understand how political decisions can promote, but also prevent, peace and security. Water justice is intimately linked to peace, development and human rights. Ignorance and unfounded pessimism are real problems. People from all walks of life need to react and to choose the path that will lead to mutual gain, peace, security and prosperity.

Understanding water and sanitation as human rights was central to the 2009 Stockholm Water Week theme of “Accessing Water for the Common Good”. Human rights are aimed at universal access to drinking water and sanitation which is safe, affordable, physically accessible, culturally acceptable and sufficient in quantity. This paper briefly explains the mandate of the Independent Expert on the issue of human rights obligations related to access to safe drinking water and sanitation. It then turns to water and sanitation as human rights, outlining their content, their status as rights, some prevailing misconceptions and the purpose and contribution of human rights in development practice.
