Special Procedure

Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation

Date: Jun 30, 2014

Summary: This report focuses on common violations of the human rights to water and sanitation, as identifying violations of those rights is critical to ensure their realization, to prevent further violations and to ensure that concerted action is taken to remedy them. A leading cause of systemic violations of the rights to water and sanitation relates to the failure of State to raise, allocate and utilize necessary resources. Violations can be grouped into the following types: (a) failure to raise the maximum available resources through taxation and other sources of revenue; (b) failure to combat tax evasion and illicit financial flows; (c) failure to seek and accept international assistance where needed; (d) failure to allocate appropriate levels of funding; (f) failure to fully utilize allocated resources; (e) failure to direct resources to meeting the needs of vulnerable or marginalized communities; and (g) failure to direct sufficient funds to sub-national governments and other delegated authorities to allow them to fulfil their roles.
