July 28th ,
the UN General Assembly voted
122-0 (41 countries abstained
from voting) to declare that
clean drinking water and
sanitation are human rights
essential to the full
enjoyment of life and all
other human rights. The
declaration noted with deep
concern that almost 900
million people worldwide do
not have access to clean water
and more than 2.6 billion do
not have access to basic
sanitation. UN member states
and international
organizations were called upon
to offer funding and
technology to help poorer
countries scale up their
efforts to provide, clean,
accessible, and affordable
drinking water and sanitation
for everyone.
