THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SAFE DRINKING WATER:A STUDY OF THE PROSPECTS FOR THE ACCESSION OF ARAB COUNTRIES TO THE 1992 WATER CONVENTION

The right to water expresses one of the basic rights enjoyed by the human beings, as it is called for by international conventions and the international community. Countries seek to secure it and ensure its provision to individuals and impose it at the international and regional levels as Arab countries are not immune from ensuring water security for their individuals, and for this reason, they had to unite their initiatives in light of the current challenges and work side by side to recognize this right through their accession to the 1992 Water Convention and adoption of regional agreements that unify different views. The aim of this research paper is to identify the international recognition of the human right to safe and safe drinking water, as well as the 1992 Water Convention, and their relationship to sustainable development and environmental protection, as well as the prospects and consequences of the accession of Arab countries to this Convention in order to ensure water security for their members.
