Service regulation and human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 34
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Meaningful public participation and access to information are human rights principles that often tend to be overlooked by States and service providers during the process of tendering, bidding and contract negotiation. From a human rights perspective, it is crucial that governments ensure that contractual arrangements include the necessary human rights safeguards, and that overall they contribute to, rather than undermine, the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation, without discrimination.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
