The MDGs and the human rights to water and sanitation 2010, para. 27
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Thirdly, human rights require sanitation facilities, in particular, to be culturally acceptable. This will often require gender-specific facilities. Also, facilities will often have to be constructed in a way that ensures privacy and dignity. With regard to water, it must be of an acceptable colour, taste and odour. The Millennium Development Goal indicator fails to capture these aspects.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
