<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The
human right to water has wide-ranging implications for the distribution of
water. Examining these implications requires putting the right to water into
the broader context of different water uses and analysing the linkages and
competition with other human rights that depend on water for their realisation.
Water allocation is a highly political issue reflecting societal power
relations, with current priorities often benefitting the well-off and powerful.
Human rights, in contrast, require prioritising the most basic needs of all
people. The human right to water has the potential to address these underlying
structural causes of the lack of access to water rooted in inequalities and
poverty by empowering people to hold the State accountable to live up to its
human rights obligations and to demand that their basic needs are met with
priority.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
