A/HRC/45/11 related to eliminating inequalities in access and realizing the human rights to water and sanitation. 71 The present report, as part of the Special Rapporteur’s last presentations to the Human Rights Council, illustrates ways to translate the issues covered in the thematic reports into practice, as well as envisioned gaps. 65. In the report, the Special Rapporteur highlights that the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation is a continuous and permanent endeavour and that elements of those rights progress differently depending on the context. As he has often noted throughout his mandate: the glass is half-empty and it is also half-full. Similarly, the pace of the progress made in the implementation of the rights since 2010 may be slow, but the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council in 2010, as a starting point, triggered some initiatives and inspired several creative developments. Despite such developments, more efforts are needed from States and non-State actors to speed up the inclusion of the most marginalized populations with regard to access to adequate water and sanitation services. The commitments related to water, sanitation and hygiene under the 2030 Agenda are a driver for leaving no one behind, but it will not suffice if States approach the targets and Goals merely as a quantitative exercise, leaving the human rights dimensions of the 2030 Agenda to the side. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has taught the world that leaving behind the people most in need of water and sanitation services can lead to a humanitarian tragedy. In order to build just and humane societies, the human rights to water and sanitation need to be placed as a priority in all contexts over the next 10 years. 71 A/HRC/30/39/Add.1, para. 15. 19
