Chapter 19 of Agenda 21 adopted at the United Nations Conference on Development and the Environment in Rio in 1992 identified the access to information on chemicals, including pesticides, as critical to capacity building for the sound management of chemicals and the achievement of sustainable development: Every person should have access to information about the environment, be able to participate in decision-making processes affecting the environment, and have access to justice, including redress and remedy. These three “access principles” outlined in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration are a benchmark for equitable and environmentally sound decision-making.
