In 1992, the United Nations proclaimed that water should be considered a human right. This book comprehensively analyzes the legal development of the concept of water as a human right, including: Implications for national governments, and international and national organisations; Progress made on this front in Middle East and North African (MENA) countries; Obstacles to universal access to water-related services and how they can be overcome.
