Paragraph
Paragraph text
The human rights criteria of availability, safety, acceptability, accessibility and affordability provide a standard against which solutions for water, sanitation and hygiene can be assessed. They stipulate the standard to be achieved. By themselves, however, they cannot be used to assess whether States are meeting their human rights obligations. The solutions proposed by the State need to be assessed contextually, with particular consideration of the resources available.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
