Abstract

The aim of this paper is to unpack the latest developments on the right to clean water and sanitation through the lens of environmental injustice against Roma ethnic populations. Namely, the Hudorovic and Others v. Slovenia judgment by the ECtHR puts the spotlight on the dynamics of discrimination against Roma communities relating to the access to fundamental environmental goods and services such as adequate sanitation and potable water. More specifically, the main research focus revolves around the question of whether the human-rights protection regime provides for an effective toolbox for the realization of the water- and sanitation-related rights of minorities groups in a country where the right to water is constitutionally recognized. This case fueled a timely debate regarding the right to safe water and proper sanitation across EU, given that the new Drinking Water Directive raises the bar with respect to the obligations on Member States to take measures to ensure that all citizens -and in particular vulnerable and marginalised groups- are connected to the distribution network.

从希望的灯塔到问号:欧洲人权法院Hudorovic等人诉斯洛文尼亚案判决后,欧洲各地享有清洁水和卫生设施的权利
本文件的目的是通过对罗姆族人口的环境不公正现象来揭示清洁水和卫生设施权利方面的最新发展。也就是说,欧洲人权法院对Hudorovic等人诉斯洛文尼亚案的判决突显了在获得基本环境商品和服务(如适当的卫生设施和饮用水)方面对罗姆人社区的歧视动态。更具体地说,主要的研究重点围绕着这样一个问题:在一个宪法承认水权的国家,人权保护制度是否为实现少数群体与水和卫生设施相关的权利提供了一个有效的工具箱。鉴于新的《饮用水指令》提高了成员国采取措施确保所有公民,特别是弱势和边缘化群体,都能接入分销网络的义务,这一案件及时引发了欧盟各地关于安全用水和适当卫生设施权利的辩论。
