Human Rights Obligations Related to Non-State Service Provision in Water and Sanitation 2010, para. 63m
- Paragraph text
- [The human rights framework does not call for any particular form of service provision. It is well established that, from a human rights perspective, States can opt to involve non-State actors in sanitation and water services provision. But the State cannot exempt itself from its human rights obligations and hence remains the primary duty-bearer. Therefore, also when involving other actors in services provision, the role of the State is crucial. The obligations of States and the responsibilities of non-State actors are complementary. The latter can and should support the State in the realization of human rights. In line with these conclusions, the independent expert offers the following recommendations:] To ensure accountability, States and other actors involved should clearly designate roles and responsibilities;

Planning for the realization of the rights to water and sanitation 2011, para. 81d
- Paragraph text
- [Human rights law provides a framework for ambitious, but realistic planning. While the ultimate goal must be universal coverage, the notion of progressive realization tailors this goal to the country situation and allows for the time frame that proves to be realistic in a given context. States must go to the maximum of available resources in the realization of the rights to water and to sanitation, turning to international assistance where needed. Progressive realization also implies gradually higher levels of service. In line with this:] States should formulate and design the necessary measures to meet the set targets;

Planning for the realization of the rights to water and sanitation 2011, para. 80c
- Paragraph text
- [The full realization of human rights can require complex trade-offs that are even more difficult in situations of economic crisis. Having a plan or a vision guided by a human rights framework helps authorities to prioritize the realization of human rights above other considerations. Yet, a human rights framework provides no single answer on how to set priorities in a case where not all can be reached at the same time - for instance the distribution of resources between neglected remote rural areas and deprived urban slum areas. What human rights standards and principles call for is that such allocation decisions are not based solely on a cost-utility analysis, but are the result of a democratic, participatory and non-discriminatory process. In this regard:] Where strategies and/or plans for the water and sanitation sectors are already in place, States should re-examine these, and revise and align them with human rights standards and principles as necessary;

Different levels and types of services and the human rights to water and sanitation 2015, para. 98
- Paragraph text
- In conclusion, this report indicates the relevance of the discussion of types of services to the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation. While the relationship between any particular technological option and its performance is largely dependent on the management model that accompanies it and the context within which it is carried out, the type of service used may, in and of itself, weigh on the realization of these rights. A vital message to retain is that the selection of type of service and management model for a given location's water, sanitation and hygiene services must be assessed in the light of the human rights standards and principles, as well as the principles of core obligations, progressive realization and use of maximum available resources.

Development cooperation in the water and sanitation sector 2016, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- The present report provides an exploratory and preliminary approach to analysing development cooperation in the water and sanitation sector between States and multilateral agencies, based on secondary data, published articles and responses to a questionnaire sent to several stakeholders. Some of the issues presented will require more thorough and in-depth research, to be performed through engagement with relevant funders and partner States, and will be addressed in a subsequent report to be submitted in 2017. That report will include, but will not be limited to, a review of experiences that illustrate the stakes involved in applying the human rights framework to development cooperation in the water and sanitation sector carried out by States, multilateral agencies and (possibly) non-governmental organizations. Given that information on those experiences will be essential in complementing and validating some of the information provided in the present report, the conclusions and recommendations herein must be considered with attention to their preliminary character.

Development cooperation and the human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- Similar to the broad conclusion reached in the first report (A/71/302, paras. 41-44), the Special Rapporteur finds that the explicit commitment to human rights in the six funders’ policies constitutes a heterogeneous patchwork. While some funders’ policies consider the human rights framework, particularly the human rights to water and sanitation, others are only sporadically aligned with those rights and reveal varying degrees of clarity regarding their application to development cooperation. However, even in cases where the human rights framework was adequately incorporated in funders’ policies, the Special Rapporteur observed significant gaps in the application of this framework during project implementation. The root causes of such gaps are varied, including non-implementation of applicable policies at the project stage, non-integration of the human rights framework in the funder’s policies and tools and the absence of a human rights approach in the project selection and design stages.

As those most in need tend to benefit from basic systems, priority should be given to these. Moreover, since sanitation continues to be underfunded, and more off track than the water target, the former must be prioritized in aid targeting;

Service regulation and human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 87
- Paragraph text
- Regulatory frameworks are essential for the implementation of the human rights to water and sanitation and must support the State’s obligations with regard to these rights. International human rights law does not call for a particular choice of regulatory framework. What is essential from a human rights perspective is that those carrying out regulatory functions be immune to pressures from any illegitimate interests and that the main objectives of regulation be aligned with the water and sanitation human rights standards and principles. Regulation plays a key role in monitoring service providers’ compliance with the normative content of the human rights to water and sanitation and in ensuring accountability. Identifying and avoiding violations of these rights and retrogressions in their progressive realization is also key for the regulation of water and sanitation services. As public bodies, regulatory actors are bound by States’ international human rights obligations, and their functions should go beyond mere policing and include supporting and influencing policy changes in line with the human rights framework.

Development cooperation and the human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- A variety of operational tools was observed among the different funders, some with greater relevance to the human rights to water and sanitation than others. The extent to which those tools can guarantee that development cooperation projects will have positive impacts on human rights depends on at least two factors. First, tools based explicitly on the human rights framework will naturally be more apt to incorporate all relevant standards and cause minimal negative impacts. Recognizing that water and sanitation projects are parts of broader, dynamic contexts that can limit a given project’s results, such tools must ensure adaptability in order to maximize the progressive realization of the human rights to water and sanitation and other related rights. Second, mainstreaming the use of such tools by operational teams involved in project implementation will avoid the risk of standards being applied selectively.
