halo teman-teman,

sekarang kan sedang jamannya rame isu amandemen konstitusi, kalau misalnya
'hak atas air dan sanitasi' dimasukkan kedalam bagian dari bab hak asasi
manusia, kira kira "merepotkan" nggak ya?

kalau dari hasil review saya sih kelihatannya undang2 sumber daya air nggak
jelas masalah apportionment of rights, antara "hak eksploitasi air" (yang
dimiliki perusahaan) vs "hak guna air" (individu, untuk daily subsistence).
kedua, uu sda kayaknya cenderung melihat hak atas air dari segi ekonominya
saja (berdasarkan pasal 33), tetapi tidak melihat air sebagai hak asasi
manusia.

sedangkan, isu air dan sanitasi bisa jadi bakal marak tahun tahun ke depan
karena urbanisasi, population explosion, climate change (banjir, global
warming, dsb) dan polusi groundwater.

terakhir saya lihat perpres DNI (Daftar Negatif Investasi), air minum
dimasukkan kedalam bagian "terbuka untuk investasi asing" dengan persyaratan
max. capital ownership investor asing adalah 95%

saya kurang tahu dari segi ekonominya, tetapi dari segi hukum setahu saya
ada resiko2 yang cukup besar kalau korporasi multinasional diberikan
keleluasaan mengelola sektor air minum. tapi di privatisasi atau tidak,
mungkin bisa sedikit membantu kalau hak atas air dan sanitasi dijamin dalam
konstitusi.


salam,

ada beberapa link yang mungkin bisa sedikit menambah informasi:

1. quickfacts tentang air: http://www.un.org/events/water/brochure.htm

1.1 billion people lack access to safe water, roughly one-sixth of the
world's population, and 2.4 billion or 40 per cent of the world's people
lack access to adequate sanitation services.

2. water dan sewerage di indonesia:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/indoe.html

Indonesia's water quality is deteriorating. One of the most serious problems
is the lack of sewerage systems in urban areas. The *Indonesia Environment
Monitor* notes that Indonesia ranks among the worst countries in Asia in
sewerage and sanitation coverage. Few Indonesian cities possess even minimal
sanitation systems. For example, according to a 2002 World Bank
report<http://lnweb18.worldbank.org/eap/eap.nsf/Attachments/Water-Ris&Pollard/$File/1INDONESIA-sewerage+experience+%28final%29.pdf>,
less than 3% of Jakarta's population is connected to a sewer system.

3. judicial review uu air oleh MK:
http://www.lead-journal.org/abstracts/06001.htm

The Judicial Review of the Law by the Constitutional added to this
controversy as it puts the legality of the water regime in Indonesia in a
"twilight zone".

4. risiko hukum privatisasi air oleh MNC:
http://www.thejakartapost.com/yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20070516.F04

Another disadvantage in dealing with an MNC is that there is currently no
adequate accountability and responsibility standard in place. Thus, it is
theoretically possible for an MNC to cause losses (to the environment or
labor) in a host state and get away with it. This is because an MNC is a
single economic unity, but is legally distinct.

The losses are not attributable to its parent company in United States or
Europe, because those companies exist beyond Indonesia's jurisdictions and
they possess a distinct legal personality from their Indonesian "avatar".

5. air dan masalah gender: http://www.wedo.org/files/divertingtheflow.pdf

Every day, many women and girls walk or travel long distances
to bring water to their families, often at the expense of education,
income generating activities, cultural and political involvement,
and rest and recreation. Despite this, women's central role
in water resources management is often ignored.

6. Report UNFPA 2007:
http://www.unfpa.org/swp/2007/english/introduction.html

In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the
first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion
people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to
almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the
future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all
depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.

7. Forbes Mag, "2 billion slum dwellers":
http://www.forbes.com/2007/06/11/third-world-slums-biz-cx_21cities_ee_0611slums.html

By 2030, an estimated 5 billion of the world's 8.1 billion people will live
in cities. About 2 billion of them will live in slums, primarily in Africa
and Asia, lacking access to clean drinking water and working toilets,
surrounded by desperation and crime.
