Abstract
BECERRA RAMIREZ, José de Jesús and SALAS BENITEZ, Irma. HUMAN RIGHT TO THE ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER: PHILOSOPHICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS OF ITS CONFIGURATION AND WARRANTY IN LATIN AMERICA. Prolegómenos [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.37, pp.125-146. ISSN 0121-182X. https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.1683.
Based in the doctrine, in some of the dissertations specialized in fundamental rights and in the contents of universal and Inter American instruments of their protection, these pages suggest the justification and the basis of the human right to the access to drinking water as a dignity subject, and therefore, a human right and, specifically, a social right; in the same way, an approach to the minimum standards established in the international environment and the obligations derived for the States from them, which must guarantee such right. Dealing with such topics is mainly supported on the next methods: analytic, for the ordered and reasoned study of rights; phenomenological, with the aim of objective knowledge of its nature and social essence, and hermeneutic, with the aim of its study on the basis of the interpretations done by the doctrine and supranational organs with respect to its content and scope.
Keywords : Human; dignity; economic; social and cultural rights; warranty.
