Hello everyone. I hope you had a great start of 2018! We are currently preparing the visit of the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights to water and sanitation to Mongolia. If you have already worked in that country, we would be very interested to know your views about issues of concern related to these rights including on the following: - availability of water and sanitation (e.g., quantity of water available for each person); - accessibility water and sanitation (e.g., facilities should be within safe physical reach, facilities should be accessible to everyone, access to services in rural area vs. urban area, piped water, sewerage network); - quality water and sanitation (e.g., drinking water should be safe, free from micro-organism, chemical substance, and radiological hazards, how quality is monitored); - affordability of water and sanitation (e.g., water tariffs, social tariffs for services, disconnections of services for inability to pay); - information on water and sanitation (e.g., information regarding quality of water); - judicial and non-judicial remedies available in case of violation of human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation; and - institutional framework of the water and sanitation sector in the country, including the role of the national and subnational governments, regulatory actors and the service providers. Any information would be welcome. My work email is pgarde@ohchr.org You can read more about our work here: http://www.ohchr.org/…/Wate…/SRWater/Pages/SRWaterIndex.aspx Cheers, Pascal
