The world is lagging seriously in its efforts to slash the number of people who lack access to decent sanitation, leaving too many people deprived of basic dignity, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said, calling for concrete measures from United Nations Member States, civil society groups and others in the year ahead to remedy the problem.
Mr. Ban told the first preparatory meeting for the International Year of Sanitation, which will be marked in 2008, that access to sanitation is a fundamental issue of human dignity and human rights, and also of economic development and environmental protection.
An estimated 2.6 billion people - including about 980 million children - worldwide do not have access to basic sanitation services, a statistic Mr. Ban described as simply unacceptable. Instead they are forced to defecate in bags, buckets or roadside ditches, causing serious health risks to themselves and others.
