Summary	Defining the international human rights standard for the right to water, and the development of international generic indicators and benchmarks. Human rights based approach to development has gained a prominent role in the socio-economic development of countries around the world and the agenda for the development and realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Meanwhile, the challenge remains of translating the international human rights instruments and normative values into a model for development with a clarified methodology, analytical concepts and policy options. All involved actors need to know and understand what the right to an adequate standard of living means and how this can be achieved. This Issue Paper explores a possible generic methodology for the operationalisation of rights, exemplified through the right to water. The key aims of this methodology are: To identify the core normative dimensions of the right in terms of the criteria of Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Quality (AAAQ). And to develop a framework on the basis of the AAAQ criteria that consists of specific standards, generic indicators and generic benchmarks.
