| Abstract | By adopting the General Comment No. 15 concerning the human right to water, the water issue has been removed from other parts of the security of life and has been identified as an independent legal issue in human rights. This resolution obliges member states to provide their citizens with the right to access clean water and sanitation as their primary and independent responsibility.So, riparian states which have several transboundary water agreements with their neighbors are obliged to fulfill the right to water for their citizens, and they have to follow some basic standards and rules for more cooperation on water utilization, management, and protection of international watercourses with other riparian states. In some countries, because of the dependency of their populations on the shared water resources, and fulfilling their water-related human rights, they could not be very successful in meeting their human rights obligations regarding the right to water. The research question which has been raised is what the state’s responsibilities are in fulfilling the right to water according to International water law’s principles and instruments, and what the solution is to address people’s problems. |
