• Con el crecimiento de la población mundial, el cambio climático global y la necesidad de un medio ambiente más saludable, el acceso a los recursos hídricos se ha convertido en una condición crucial para la realización de un orden internacional equitativo, donde las necesidades de los pueblos sean efectivamente atendidas.

El agua es un derecho humano, un derecho habilitador, no una mera mercancía.
