Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
The Human Right to Water and Sanitation —HRWS— has called primary attention since General Comment No. 15 (GC 15) —issued in 2002 by the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, CESCR— interpreted articles 11 and 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). Since then, much has been written on this human right, but very little on the existing linkage between it and private corporations providing public water and sanitation services (WSS), and even less on the regulatory and Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) implications of the state's duty to protect this right. This article will therefore study the state's duty to protect from business-related human rights violations in the specific field of WSS from two interrelated perspectives. On one hand, the domestic regulatory front, which raises questions such as: Should regulation of private water and sanitation companies be based on human rights standards? If so, to what extent? What are the concrete regulatory implications of the two previous responses? Has existing case law outlined minimum regulatory standards based on international human rights norms? On the other hand, in terms of international liability, the following que stions are crucial: How should we interpret BITs that protect foreign companies providing water and sanitation in light of the state's duty to protect from business-related human rights violations? How to reconcile the state's BITs commitments with its obligations under human rights treaties in WSS? Do we need to reconcile them at all?
