Water is not a privilege,

In 2006, 1.3 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water.
2.5 billion people do not have adequate sanitation.
5 million people, mainly women and children, die annually from diseases related to water quality.
There is a universal and inalienable right to water for life.
International organizations and financial institutions, private companies and all members of civil society have a responsibility to respect and protect the right to water for life.
With a third of the world's population suffers from lack of water for drinking and sanitation purposes, it is clear that the implementation of the universal right to water for life is far from complete.
We citizens of the planet we call for a global convention is adopted for the right to water for life which is legally binding, respected and universally accepted to recognize the right to water for life. This
Global Convention will clarify the responsibilities of States and parties to respect and protect this essential right.
The Convention's objective is to create the necessary conditions to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the Johannesburg Programme of commitments through enforcement, which are proposing to halve by 2015 the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. This
in the first phase, then to achieve the goal of 'universal access.
Today the Global Convention on the Right to Water for Life does not exist and is urgently needed is created.
We, the citizens and knowledgeable people we call on politicians to be launched formal negotiations to create and adopt the Global Convention on the Right to Water for Life.
