註釋This article explores the status of water as a human right. It outlines the international commitments under the international and regional conventions, and judicial decisions outlining the nature of the right to water. It deals with the commodification of water and the potential impact of the General Agreement on Trade in Services on water resources. It also discusses the influence of corporations and various international financial institutions on the development of the water sector and water-related services. The question is whether the commodification or the privatization of water services will ensure that adequate safe drinking water reaches the poor and the marginalized sections of the community. Is water only an economic good or is it both a social and economic good?
