“We shouldn’t improve anything because someone else has it worse”.
If we followed this everyone wouldn’t have access to sanitation.
Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel

I’m glad she lost.
More than a billion people lack safe drinking water and almost two and a half
billion live without access to sanitation systems.
It’s about getting people out of poverty, making sure multinationals don’t steal or pollute drinking water for their benefit,etc…
That’s the reason why the UN and other organizations declared it a universal human right.
Or on an individual level a dangerously dehydrated person in some desert should not be refused water.
This woman’s situation having to buy a bottle is in no way comparable and frankly it’s insulting.
That place is a high end ski resort.
She shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t want to serve tap water.
It’s a snobby attitude, “vulgar tap water is something the plebs drink!”
The kind of place where they also charge extras for the smallest of services.
We don’t have to like it but it’s the place she chose to stay in.
In no way did she not have access to water. If she really wanted to drink tap water she could’ve filled a bottle in her undoubtedly fancy bathroom. But probably she didn’t want to look like the a cheapskate.
So no, her human rights have not been violated.
This is rich Karen drama queen behavior.

It’s a high end resort with its own heli pad.
They will serve the cuisine and drinks they have on their undoubtedly carefully curated menu.
If they don’t like it, don’t go there, leave a nasty Yelp review or whatever, end of story.This has absolutely nothing to do with ‘access to sanitation’ as you imagine here or worse that woman’s dramatic claim of violating her human rights to water.
Making the equation with billions of people that are suffering and dying to this day from lack of warter is grotesk and offensive.
This pretentious Karen wasted the court’s time and resources twice for her shameful whims.
It improves absolutely nothing.

Water is a universal human right, except when it involves people I dislike. Thats what you sound like

Guess she’s not the only Karen.
You would probably cry about your human right to food being violated when a 3 star restaurant denies you entrance because you showed up in your filthy flip flops.
