The Right to Adequate Water in Mexico

Paper Summary:

This paper explains, while the world consensus seems to be that the access to clean water is a basic human right, Mexico is facing one of the worst water situations in the industrialized world. The author points out that, because corporations are largely responsible for the problems now evident regarding water, they should also contribute to the provision of drinking water for the general population. The paper contends that government needs to refuse the attempt at privatization of water supplies; anytime this occurs, there is the risk of rising prices and monopolies occurring.

From the Paper:

"Before one can begin to address the problem of water in Mexico one must have an understanding of the importance of human rights and what that means. Human rights are a basic core of existence for humans. It is the element that separates the humans from the animals. Human rights are things that are given to each human being so that they may exist and survive in basic need. Human rights are core needs and the meeting of them is something that each human being as the right to expect. Human rights include things like not being tortured, being able to eat, being treated without cruelty and the right to food and water at all times."
