A/68/264 communities and stakeholders in decision-making on wastewater management in order to promote sustainable solutions; (g) States must ensure adequate funding for wastewater management and pollution control. They must make efficient use of resources to avoid failed investments and unsustainable solutions, and they must carefully target resources to reach the most disadvantaged. They must ensure that wastewater charges are affordable to the population, including the most disadvantaged, and at the same time must raise appropriate charges from polluters and implement and enforce the “polluter pays” principle; (h) States and non-State actors should carry out and publish impact assessments in line with human rights standards and principles. They should avoid referring to the confidentiality of information as an argument to keep impact assessments inaccessible. States must put in place effective, timely and accessible accountability mechanisms and ensure access to justice. States and other actors should improve data on wastewater and pollution, inter alia, also covering contamination through sludge and septage; (i) Donors, international organizations and other non-State actors, including the private sector, should meet their human rights obligations and responsibilities respectively, and support States in improving wastewater management and pollution control, in particular through targeting resources to address the most urgent and serious challenges and improve the lives and livelihoods of the most excluded and disadvantaged populations; (j) States should promote the integration of human rights into the post2015 sustainable development agenda through, inter alia, incorporating the elimination of inequalities, drinking water safety, the collection and treatment of wastewater, especially addressing faecal sludge management, and putting particular emphasis on monitoring informal settlements. 13-41825 23/23
