On 18 March (15.00-16.15) DROI in association with the Delegation for Relations with South Africa (D-ZA) will discuss the impact of exporting pesticides banned in the EU on the right to health and a healthy environment in South Africa.

Although certain highly hazardous pesticides are banned in the EU because of their harmful effects on human health and the environment, they are still produced in the EU and exported to countries with less stringent regulations.

South Africa is a clear example of this practice, as some of these products are associated with serious health risks for agricultural workers, especially women, who are exposed to them on a daily basis, but also for children living in exposed areas.

Marcos A. Orellana, UN special rapporteur on toxic chemicals and human rights; Navanethem Pillay former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and judge at the ICC; Colette Solomon, Director of Women on Farms Project and the Commission will join the debate to share their respective perspective on this topic.

On 18 March (16.30-18.00) DROI, in association with the Conference of the Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group (DEG), and as a part of the Conference on "The Future of Democracy Support" will hold a session entitled "A battle of narratives".
Human rights and democracy are closely linked and mutually reinforcing. Human rights are the necessary foundation for democracy to function, while democracy is the form of governance that best guarantees the protection and fulfilment of these rights.

But today, democracy is in decline globally, while a surge in autocratic governance has become increasingly threatening to global politics.

In this context, this discussion will analyse the extent to which democracy still have the potential to tell a compelling story, able to shape public trust and support.
