Title
ODI - Right to Water: Legal Forms, Political Channels
Abstract
A recent initiative of the UN has raised to prominence the
right to water. Framed in General Comment no. 15, a nonlegally
binding document, the right as thus interpreted by
the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural (ESC)
Rights was nonetheless designed to promote binding and
enforceable rights under national laws, as a step towards filling
the gaps in water services. Whilst this goal is generally accepted,
responses to the General Comment have been widely
divergent, and discussion of the human right to water mixed
with argument over private versus public services and pro- and
anti- ‘commodification’ of water.
