Abstract
Unlike the right to food and housing, the right to water was not expressly acknowledged in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ('UDHR') or the subsequent International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ('ICESCR'). This omission generated debate about whether a human right to water exists at international law.
