Human Wrongs Watch

August 2015 – Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI)* – The concept of justice in managing water resources arises from the competing, and sometimes, conflicting demands for water. The human rights system offers an important point of entry to streamline water governance and provide coherence both in the sphere of environmental sustainability and in terms of human development.
