"Human rights are universal and eternal.
Now more than ever, our shared duty is clear: Let us stand up for human rights -- for everyone, everywhere." - @antonioguterres.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights turns 70 today #StandUp4HumanRights

Water is complex because it is linked to almost everything in the world. But complexity should not hinder understanding: Water is a precondition for human existence and for the sustainability of the planet.
Water is also your human right.
