Routledge - The Human Right to Water and International Law

Explore the complex relationship between international human rights and economic systems in this Routledge-Giappichelli study. This book examines the international right to water in the context of the liberalization of water services. It provides a detailed assessment of how to harmonize human rights law with the legal frameworks used when water services undergo liberalization. As the debate between advocates and opponents of privatization continues, this text addresses the central question of compatibility between fulfilling the right to water and the expansion of economic liberalization. It offers a deep look into the legal paths available to bridge the gap between international economic law and human rights protections. This is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of trade, economics, and fundamental human rights.
