Initiative for Water as a Human Right Sinking in Congress http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=51523

Colombian civil society organisations gathered more than two million signatures to ask Congress to hold a referendum on a constitutional amendment that would make access to water a fundamental human right.But Congress gutted the draft referendum bill this week by eliminating the clause on water as a human right.

comment-of course it did..why?because colombia promotes the free market privatization model...and water as afundemental right would jeaporidize the ability to privatize utilities!!!venezuela,ecuador,bolivia have it as a right...see the difference?
