This article shows the lack of guarantee in the compliance of the Humans Rights to have access to water for millions of human beings. From a holistic vision, it carries out a concise review of the physical, political, economic and social aspects that make this guarantee difficult and addresses it from a legal point of view those international standards that, although numerous, are not sufficient to achieve the aforementioned objective.
It proposes a new organizational framework based on the work of the Nobel Prize winner in economics, Elinor Ostrom, and on Bloomington School’s train of neo-institutional thoughts, this framework defends a new model of organization of these resources capable of guaranteeing a better distribution of water resources through the application of the rules that are underpinned by the Government of the Commons.
