International regulation of chemicals = dismal pace. Example, the asbestos in all its forms, is no fully listed in the Rotterdam Convention.

Permanent blocking by individual countries to the ban of the most dangerous substances

Ratification of ILO Convention 170. Of the 18 ratifications gotten so far only 5 have occurred since 2006.

44


SAICM has diferencies:

1. It is non- binding

2. Activities broad in approch (300 actions where listed in the GPA)

3. It is multistakeholder: It allows non-state actors to participate

55


“to achieve, by 2020, that chemicals are used and produced in ways that lead to the minimization of significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, using transparent science-based risk assessment procedures and science -based risk management procedures, taking into account the precautionary approach, as set out in principle 15 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and support developing countries in strengthening their capacity for the sound management of chemicals and hazardous wastes by providing technical and financial assistance”.

5 years to go:

Opportunity to move progress

Path for international control has to speed

- Global Plan of Action/ Global Policy Strategy / Overall Orientation and Guidance

- Citizen mobilizing effort – campaigns on concrete risk elimination / promotion of solutions.
