| Resumo em Inglês | Pesticide use, management, and regulation have been a tough topic in international
and domestic politics. Brazil, for instance, has one of the world highest annual
pesticide consumption (76 millions of kg) (World Atlas, 2017). In contrast with this
high consumption, pesticide regulation has been undermined in the country each
year because of the diversity and plurality of interests among civil society and the
Legislative and Executive branches of the government. This imbalance can be seen
through the significant number of 262 agricultural pesticides that were authorized for
use since January 2019. This number raised a concern of public opinion, especially
regarding the adverse health and environmental impacts these pesticides would have
in the long term. This movement led multilateral organizations – such as the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health
Organization – to adopt resolutions towards the mitigation of these detrimental
effects. However, two questions must be addressed to move beyond international
organization rhetoric towards effective enforcement. First, what are the role played
by international organizations (mainly those in the UN system) in the pesticides
regulation, control, and health? Second, what is the main content of international
regulations on pesticides? Although these questions are primarily about regulatory
competences and recommendations to states, they encompass power constraints,
namely those related to transnational corporations and their influence of political
outcome. Finally, we point out some thoughts about the potential impact of the
weakening of pesticides regulation on Brazil’s foreign trade. | pt_BR |
