BOSTON/Beacon Hill - Over 30 water advocates and allies attended a hearing convened by Catarina de Albuquerque, the United Nations Independent Expert on the right to water and sanitation, on Friday, Feb. 25th. De Albuquerque was in Boston as part of a mission "to examine the way in which the human right to water and sanitation is being realized in the United States" in the wake of the United Nation recognition of the right to water and sanitation last year by the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights council.
