Sanitation has received little attention from law & policy makers, & implementers for a long time although it was not completely outside the purview of laws & policies in India. The past couple of decades have witnessed a significant change in the manner in which sanitation is viewed, both at the national & international levels. While this change is accompanied by a growing interest among academics in the policy perspectives on sanitation, the enquiry into its legal dimensions has lagged behind considerably. This text is a comprehensive study of the right to sanitation & its multiple dimensions with a special emphasis on India. It analyses the right in terms of its narrow understanding focusing on toilets & various broader components, such as its gender, social, environmental dimensions, as well as specific issues such as manual scavenging & the conditions of work of sanitation workers.

Notre présent est marqué par une pression inédite sur notre environnement. Il nous fait prendre conscience de la fragilité de notre planète ainsi que de la responsabilité qui nous incombe de la préserver. Comment concilier cette exigence avec le défi que nous pose l’explosion démographique ? Comment repenser un rapport de l’homme à la terre et à l’environnement qui ne soit pas dicté par les lois du marché ? Les termes de « gouvernance » et de « développement durable » contribuent à redessiner les contours d’un Droit visant à articuler les enjeux politiques, sociaux, économiques et environnementaux contemporains. Cet ouvrage tente de relever les enjeux majeurs et de dégager des pistes de réflexion et d’action en croisant des terrains africains et indiens dans une démarche interdisciplinaire et interculturelle. En promouvant un dialogue « Sud – Sud », il décentre aussi les réflexions globales qui restent dominées par le « Nord ». Our present is characterized by a heretofore unknown pressure on the environment, raising our awareness of the fragility of our planet and our responsibility to preserve it. How to reconcile this exigency with the challenge of demographic explosion? How to ensure a use of natural resources for human wellbeing that is not entirely dictated by market forces? How to rethink the relation between man and land and the environment? The terms ‘governance’ and ‘sustainable development’ contribute to a reshaping of the Law that is aimed at articulating contemporary political, social, economic and environmental issues. The focus of this book is on the major stakes involved and on the way to elaborate possible modes of thought and action through the exploration of African and Indian situations by means of an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach. By promoting a ‘South – South’ dialogue, it also decenters global reflections that continue to be largely dominated by the ‘North’.
