Derecho al agua
    Escobar Roca, Guillermo

Este XII Informe sobre Derechos Humanos de la Federación Iberoamericana de Ombudsman, relativo al derecho al agua, tiene, como hemos señalado en ocasiones anteriores, un doble objetivo, interno y externo. En primer lugar, refuerza los lazos de unión entre los miembros de la Federación, de conformidad con lo dispuesto en los apartados a), g) y h) de su Estatuto1. En segundo lugar, cristaliza, nuevamente, la vocación de esta organización de servicio al progreso de la región, desde el entendimiento de que poco puede avanzarse sin la previa reflexión compartarget_ida sobre la situación, jurídica y fáctica, de los Derechos Humanos, y en especial de las debilidades en su protección y de las vías más adecuadas para superarlas. Sólo desde el conocimiento de la realidad esta podrá cambiarse y sigue siendo válida la clásica propuesta ilustrada que confiaba encontrar las mejores soluciones tras el diálogo, público, plural y abierto, sobre las distintas alternativas posibles.

The status and distribution of freshwater biodiversity in the Arabian peninsula
    Cox, Neil | García, Nieves | Harrison, I. J. | Tognelli, Marcelo F.

Freshwater habitats and biodiversity in the Arabian Peninsula are unique and highly valued for the essential role they play in people's survival, as well as that of its native flora and fauna. This project aims to provide an accurate picture of the present conservation status and distribution of Arabian freshwater species, as well as to identify the main threats that affect them and action requirements for their successful long term conservation. We expect this document to guide conservation planning and represent an important step in building capacity for Red Listing and the identification of priority areas for conservation action in the region.
