Development cooperation and the human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 56
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Large infrastructure projects are not necessarily contrary to the rights to water and sanitation, but the crucial question is whether such projects improve access for those who already enjoy some degree of access, or whether they take the challenging step of extending access to those who continue to be excluded from even basic access, especially in peri-urban areas and informal settlements (see A/HRC/18/33/Add.3).
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
