UN scientific agency collaborating with scientists involved in sabotaging UN Rotterdam convention

摘要

An Italian appeal court has increased the sentence of two leading asbestos industrialists from sixteen to eighteen years in prison for criminal conduct in covering up the hazards of asbestos. Yet, unbelievably, at the May 2013 meeting of the UN Rotterdam Convention, Russia perpetuated the same deadly deception in order to export asbestos, while covering up its hazards.What is shocking is that the UN's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is collaborating with Russian asbestos propagandists who were involved in sabotaging the UN Rotterdam Convention to prevent chrysotile asbestos from being listed as a hazardous substance under international law. This permits Russia to continue exporting asbestos without being required to disclose that it is hazardous.
