Could we please not? In the first sentence of the article: > (…) alleged the city knowingly let residents drink lead-contaminated water. Knowingly let residents drink unsafe water. Surely you can see an issue there? Can we please make a collected effort to comment beyond the title? If you don’t know what “a right to safe water” means, then could you please do a web search to try to be minimally informed about the matter before commenting? Took me two seconds to find a UN page. https://www.unwater.org/water-facts/human-rights-water-and-sanitation https://www.unwater.org/water-facts/human-rights-water-and-s... Again, on the first sentence, in bold: > Access to water and sanitation are recognized by the United Nations as human rights – fundamental to everyone’s health, dignity and prosperity. And on the second paragraph: > Governments must take a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to water and sanitation improvements There’s your right to water. It means that because it’s something fundamental to human life, nations have an (at a minimum moral, often legal) obligation to provide it or protect access to it to everyone under them that lacks it. Just for good measure, here’s the Wikipedia page on Human Rights too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights Again, the first sentence already explains a lot.
