Synopsis The right to sanitation has been recognized domestically for more than two decades and progressively integrated into the international human rights law framework since the beginning of the century. The recognition of the right itself is not a matter for debate since the courts have repeatedly affirmed its existence as a right deriving from the fundamental right to life. Key issues arise in the context of conceptualization and realization of the right and relate to the existence and/or the scope of a law and policy framework for the realisation of the right to sanitation for all, the scope of the right, the links with other rights such as health and gender equality, as well as issues of specific relevance in the Indian context, such as manual scavenging, and more generally, caste-based discrimination and exploitation linked to sanitation work. This book represents the first effort to conceptually engage with the various dimensions of the right to sanitation. It analyses the right to sanitation in India in the broader international and comparative setting. In a context where sanitation challenges are more severe in India than in many other countries, this book is the first step towards a better understanding of the right to sanitation and its multiple dimensions in India.
