The human right to safe drinking water and sanitation 2014, para. 11
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Deeply concerned that, according to the 2014 Joint Monitoring Programme update, more than 2.5 billion people still do not have access to improved sanitation facilities, including 1 billion people who still practice open defecation, and that the world remains off track to meet the sanitation component of Millennium Development Goal 7, which called for halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to an improved sanitation facility; and welcoming therefore the emphasis placed by States on the topic of sanitation, for instance in General Assembly resolution 65/1 of 22 September 2010, in which States committed to, inter alia, redouble efforts to close the sanitation gap through scaled-up ground-level action, and the proclamation of 19 November as World Toilet Day in the context of Sanitation for All, pursuant to Assembly resolution 67/291 of 24 July 2013,
