Ten years after the United Nation’s recognition of the human right to water and sanitation (HRtWS), little is understood about how these right impacts access to sanitation. There is limited identification of the mechanisms responsible for improvements in sanitation, including the international and constitutional recognition of rights to sanitation and water. We examine a core reason for the lack of progress in this field: data quality. Examining data availability and quality on measures of access to sanitation, we arrive at three findings: (1) where data are widely available, measures are not in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, revealing little about changes in sanitation access; (2) data concerning safe sanitation are missing in more country-year observations than not; and (3) data are missing in the largest proportions from the poorest states and those most in need of progress on sanitation. Nonetheless, we present two regression analyses to determine what effect rights recognition has on improvements in sanitation access. First, the available data are too limited to analyze progress toward meeting SDGs related to sanitation globally, and especially in regions most urgently needing improvements. Second, utilizing more widely available data, we find that rights seem to have little impact on access.

获得卫生设施的决定因素:人权的作用和衡量的挑战

在联合国承认享有水和卫生设施的人权 (HRtWS) 十年之后,人们对这些权利如何影响获得卫生设施的机会知之甚少。对负责改善卫生设施的机制,包括对卫生设施和水权的国际和宪法承认,认识有限。我们研究了该领域缺乏进展的一个核心原因:数据质量。通过检查有关获得卫生设施的措施的数据可用性和质量,我们得出三个发现:(1) 在数据广泛可用的情况下,措施与可持续发展目标 (SDG) 目标不符,几乎没有揭示卫生设施获得方面的变化;(2) 在更多的国家年观测中,缺少有关安全卫生的数据;(3) 最贫穷国家和最需要卫生设施进步的国家的数据缺失的比例最大。尽管如此,我们提出了两个回归分析来确定权利承认对改善卫生设施的影响。首先,可用数据太有限,无法分析在全球实现与卫生相关的可持续发展目标方面的进展,尤其是在最迫切需要改进的地区。其次,利用更广泛可用的数据,我们发现权利似乎对访问几乎没有影响。特别是在最迫切需要改进的地区。其次,利用更广泛可用的数据,我们发现权利似乎对访问几乎没有影响。特别是在最迫切需要改进的地区。其次,利用更广泛可用的数据,我们发现权利似乎对访问几乎没有影响。
