Prelims; Foreword; Acknowledgements; Summary Contents; Detailed Contents; Abbreviations; Table of Cases; Table of Instruments; 1. Introduction; 2. Background: Water Availability and Competing Demands; 3. Legal Foundations of the Human Right to Water; 4. Legal Characteristics of the Human Right to Water; 5. Human Rights Implications for Water Allocation; 6. Benefits of Understanding Water as a Human Right; 7. Conclusion and Outlook; Bibliography; Index.
The United Nations General Assembly and the Human Rights Council recognised the human right to water in 2010. This formal recognition has put the issue high on the international agenda, but by itself leaves many questions unanswered. This book addresses this gap and clarifies the legal status and meaning of the right to water through a detailed analysis of its legal foundations, legal nature, normative content and corresponding State obligations. The human right to water has wide-ranging implications for the distribution of water. Examining these implications requires putting the right to wate.
