The scope of SAICM includes agricultural chemicals. Of SAICM-related issues, the FAO has mainly been concerned with pesticides used in agriculture,25 and in that area the FAO has established cooperation with SAICM and other international chemicals agreements. In particular, on the issue of highly hazardous pesticides, the FAO has provided information and outlined possible actions for SAICM to take in this area (FAO 2014). There are ample opportunities for cooperation and synergies between the FAO and SAICM. The UN Special Rapporteur on the implications for human rights of the environmentally sound management and disposal of hazardous substances and waste was first appointed in 1995, and the work still continues today.
