Participation in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 40
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The challenge is to balance a diversity of legitimate interests and to find solutions that, while perhaps not taking all competing views fully on board, are acceptable to everyone. The key actions in this regard are interaction, bringing all views to the table, having an open discussion, analysing the different interests and corresponding rights at stake, agreeing on a way forward and then monitoring progress on the agreed plan. Decisions must take all opinions into account, according due protection to minority concerns rather than simply adopting the majority view.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
