45ème session du Conseil des droits de l'homme - Evènement parallèle en ligne - Dix ans après la proclamation du droit à l'eau : défis et perspectives en temps de crise
Impact
The year 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of the proclamation of the right to water as a fundamental human right by the United Nations General Assembly. Despite important developments such as its inclusion in national constitutions and legislations or its definition by international mechanisms and bodies, there are still many challenges for its realization at the universal level. These challenges have been highlighted and amplified by COVID-19. The year 2020 is a pivotal year in more than one way: it does not only mark the 10th anniversary of the proclamation of the right to water, but it is also 10 years away from the deadline for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the issues at stake and challenges related to the realization of the right to water are particularly highlighted.
L'objectif de l'événement en ligne "Dix ans après la proclamation du droit à l'eau : défis et perspectives en temps de crise" est de faire le point sur le droit à l'eau 10 ans après sa reconnaissance universelle. Il mettra en lumière le rôle du droit à l'eau en temps de crise, en particulier dans le contexte de la crise humanitaire et sanitaire actuelle. Dans ce contexte, la liste de principes de Genève sur la protection des infrastructures de l'eau développée par la Plateforme pour le droit international de l'eau du Geneva Water Hub et ses partenaires sera également présentée.
