BOOK REVIEW - THE RIGHT TO WATER AND SANITATION FOR THE URBAN POOR IN DELHI: LOCALISATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Downloads
Abstract
Participatory democracy is a key to the true idea of citizenship1 . This is the underlying idea of the concept of localization of human rights. The peculiarity of this concept lies in the fact that the needs of the local people (slum dwellers, for instance) as expressed by them, gets magnified at both domestic and the international level, and such, the interpretation of these expressions is found in the national human rights actions as well as international.2 Since one of the most pertinent needs of the local people in any society is that of water and sanitation, and also have their own notion of rights relating to this.3 The element of participation comes in when these needs and the rights relating to them are actively debated upon and voiced by the local people in fora they consider responsible for listening to their claims.
