问题     Water is a limited natural resource and a public good fundamental for life and health. The human right to water is indispensable for leading a life in human dignity. It is a prerequisite for the realization of other human rights. The Committee has been confronted continually with the widespread denial of the right to water in developing as well as developed countries. Over 1 billion persons lack access to a basic water supply, while several billion do not have access to adequate sanitation, which is the primary cause of water contamination and diseases linked to water. The continuing contamination, depletion and unequal distribution of water is exacerbating existing poverty. States have to adopt effective measures to realize, without discrimination, the right to water.

选项

答案 水是有限的自然资源,是生命和健康的根本公共物品。对于有尊严的人类生活而言,获得水资源的权利是必不可少的,它是人们获得其他权利的前提。在发展中国家和发达国家,委员会总是会碰到普遍存在的用水权利得不到满足的问题。超过10亿的人口无法得到基本的水供应,同时,几十亿人口没有充足的卫生设施,卫生设施的欠缺又恰恰是水污染和与水相关疾病的主要诱因。持续的污染,枯竭和水资源的不均衡分布使贫困状况日益加剧。各国应摒弃歧视,采取有效措施来保证人类获得水资源的权利。
