Preserving precious water resources and environment is possible only when international law applies directly to the people’s rights and obligations

Almost 1 billion people in the world are suffering from insufficient water supplies, and more than 36 million children have no access to potable water. In many areas, water is scarce and women and children spend an average of 6 hours a day transporting water which may contain dead insects or rat hairs. If we do not cherish our Earth and its water resources, one day humans will all suffer from an inhabitable environment. All nations must accept international law and allow it to directly affect the rights and obligations of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
