Improving Regional Cooperation on Water Meeting Report of the Third Session of the Parliamentarians Network for Conflict Prevention and Human Security
Water security is fundamental to human security, which is a feature of composite security. Threats to our security are interconnected and must be met with collective action at both regional and global levels. Water must be conceived of as a right and not a commodity if we are to bring about equitable distribution and ensure access to this most basic necessity of life. It is only then that we may transcend the conflict-driven mode, and move
through the negotiating phase to a conceptual approach in the spirit of supra-national innovation and inter-dependence.
