The book aims to analyze the development of the right to water from the perspective of human rights law, and to explore how this right may be used as a safeguard, as well as the reaction to the problems caused by the liberalization of water services.
Drinking water and wastewater services must be provided to many sectors of a nation's economy, including its industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. This forms the scope of the water industry's activities and it explains why the privatization of water sanitation and water services has become a huge market and a much-debated issue in a number of jurisdictions. Historically the water industry has been run as a public service which is owned by the local or national government; however, recent trends suggest that the role of the private sector is increasing. The growing economic interests concerning water and wastewater services are generating a tension with the recent recognition of the human right to water and sanitation. This tension between human right and economic rules is the focus of this book, which reviews all the international rules that form the regulation of global water services.

Julien Chaisse is Professor at the Faculty of Law and Director of the Centre for Financial Regulation and Economic Development at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is an award-winning specialist in international economic law with particular expertise in the regulation and economics of foreign investment.
