This principle was reaffirmed at the 3rd and 4th World Water Councils in 2003 and 2006. This marks a departure from the conclusions of the 2nd World Water Forum in The Hague in 2000, which stated that water was a commodity to be bought and sold, not a right. There are calls from many NGOs and politicians to enshrine access to water as a binding human right, and not as a commodity.
Очевидно, что понятие right в понимании ООН и прочих NGO прямо противоречит практике взимания платы за доступ. Иначе получится, что это не право человека, а право только богатого человека, не так ли?
