This is the first draft; I’m open to any criticism and comments. I’m wondering if my categorization is correct. Thank you
Safe Water Access Act
Proposed by Epopolis
1st Draft
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Noticing, that water is essential to human life, and that a person both subsists of, and subsides upon water.
Realizing, that water is also fundamental to agriculture, which is in turn fundamental to human life.
Troubled, by the amounts of people who suffer and die, due to lack of water, either through dehydration, starvation or any of the other many maladies and diseases that are created by a lack of water.
Noting further, that some nations are abundant in water supply, while others have very little safe water.
We the sovereign nations of the United Nations:
Declare that surveys shall be taken to find out sources of safe water in every nation.
Recommend that the aforementioned survey shall be used to determine if the nation’s water supplies are supplying enough to sustain the population of that nation, and that based on that information nations be placed into three groups:
1) Substandard- Water supply is not sustaining life in the nation
2) Adequate- Water supply is sustaining life in the nation
3) Abundant- Water supply is in excess of minimum life sustaining levels
Demand that requirements be placed upon the governments of each nation based upon its placement.
Require nations with substandard water supplies apply for water assistance through the UN.
Require nations with adequate water supplies to distribute this water amongst its people, so that everyone has access to safe water.
Require nations with abundant water supplies to donate their safe water to nations who apply for water assistance through the UN.
