The law on international watercourses and its deficits in providing freshwater access -- Elements of a human rights-based approach to freshwater access -- The human rights-based approach to freshwater access within current international human rights law -- Improving a human rights-based approach to freshwater access |
| Summary |
"This book comprehensively analyses the appropriateness of a human rights-based approach in safeguarding basic water supplies and determines its legal basis in international law. Arriving at the conclusion that international water law does not adequately consider individual water needs, the study identifies applicable human rights and examines the concrete standard of protection they provide. In view of the deficits of current international water and human rights law, the study discusses concepts deemed to strengthen a human rights-based approach to freshwater access by considering both their formal legal appropriateness as well as their suitability in legal reality."--BOOK JACKET |
