Report of the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health: Mission to Ecuador and Colombia, Paul Hunt (2007)

This entire report examines the impact of aerial spraying of glyphosate by Colombia along the Ecuador-Colombia border. The SR's preliminary view was that there was credible and reliable evidence that the  spraying 'damages the physical and mental health of people living in Ecuador'. 

The Special Rapporteur's preliminary conclusion was that 'Colombia should not recommence aerial spraying'.
