Activists appealed to the United Nations in June for assistance, and over the weekend of October 18-20th of 2014, two United Nation officials, Catarina de Albuquerque, special rapporteur on water and sanitation, and Leilani Farha, special rapporteur on affordable housing, arrived on a fact-finding mission to observe the impact of the shutoffs and possible human rights violations.
