Revision history [back]
I am interested in gaining perspectives on whether people think encouraging governments to sign up to goals such as the SDGs is more effective than ratifying and acting upon human rights conventions, or whether there needs to be a combination of both?
When writing and analysing my dissertation on human rights and mental health in Ghana and South Africa I found that despite ratifying all of the relevant Human Rights Conventions, no real progress had been made around ensuring human rights were maintained in this area. This was in simple terms mainly because they were not being held to account for their commitments and also lacked the revenue to invest in this area.
I am interested in people's experiences and knowledge surrounding WASH and human rights and whether ensuring governments sign up to commitments such as SDGs would create a higher amount of change in country than ratifying conventions, or whether there needs to be a combination of both?
