HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
35th session
June 2017
[Excerpt from the statement]
In this regard, we are alarmed by the health situation in the plains region of Argentina. Our partners from the Regional Assemblies of Fumigated Villages, the Network of Doctors of Fumigated Villages and the Association of Environmental Lawyers informed us of the harmful impacts caused by the use of pesticides on the right to health, which is a problem that is closely linked to the power and activities of agrochemical transnationals.
