ce contenido en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos
Humanos ni en ningún otro documento en los que se hace
referencia a los derechos esenciales del individuo. No obs-
tante, en el año 2010, la Asamblea General de las Naciones
Unidas proclamó que éste era un derecho humano esen-
cial para el pleno disfrute de la vida y de todos los dere-
chos humanos. Ante este delicado contexto en el que el
citado derecho parece avanzar lentamente, explicaremos
su complejo fundamento jurídico. Ello nos llevará a anali-
zar el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Civiles y Políticos,
así como el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos

nacionales con el ánimo de determinar la manera en la que
su actuación está contribuyendo a la consolidación y el re-
conocimiento del comentado derecho al agua. Todo ello se
hará con el objeto de establecer la repercusión que aquél
está teniendo en la actualidad y, por supuesto, con el pro-
pósito de señalar los necesarios pasos que la comunidad
internacional debe dar para que el respaldo y la protección
a favor del comentado derecho sea total.
