【 摘 要 】

The absence of basic sanitation still consists of a global problem thatreaches about 2,500,000 people, this is a 40% of the world’s population.This reality is incompatible with human dignity, because of the disastrousconsequences to health, to housing, to privacy and the right to an ecologically balanced environment. The right to sanitation was consecrated as a human right along with the right towater by the UN General Assembly through Resolution 64/292, in July 2010, is essential to realization ofthe right to life. In addition, there are other international documents and the Brazilian national legislationthat recognizes the right to sanitation as indispensable to dignified survival. Thus, it is the duty of the State,due to the existential minimum ecological, provide mechanisms and public policies able to grant this rightto universally human. However, it was found that this is a problem in several countries, like Brazil, since theright to sanitation is recognized, however, its effectiveness in some cases becomes difficult or impossible.In this sense the problem of research is to find out what are the instruments that the State could use toexpand the sanitation system, maintaining for its universalization. As a paradigm of public policy, was usedin the case of Colombia, which adopts judicial and administrative practices together to expand entitlement.The methodology used was the judicial, legislative and bibliographical, in order to verify the possibility ofimplementation of public policies for the Brazilian scenario.
