Description: "The Human Right to Water: Legal and Policy Dimensions traces the issue of the right to water through a number of international legal instruments, particularly General Comment No. 15, issued in 2002 by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which recognizes a human right to water. It analyzes the international legal regime for human rights and argues that the development-water-human rights nexus is rapidly evolving."--BOOK JACKET.
