Common violations of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 35
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Violations of the obligation to fulfil may be the most critical category. Such violations are often complex and affect a large number of victims, yet they have generally received the least attention. Potential claimants face considerable challenges in relation to gaining access to justice for alleged structural or systemic violations. Jurisprudence, including the standards of review developed by courts in recent years, has demonstrated, however, that violations of the obligation to fulfil can indeed be adjudicated.
