 IPN: Excessive “precaution” puts children’s lives at risk; WHO and governments must prioritise, say experts.
Dr J.C. Hanekamp, director of the Heidelberg Appeal, Netherlands* and Julian Morris from the Campaign for Fighting Diseases**, today criticised the World Health Organisation for focusing unduly on the precautionary principle as a route to protecting children from risks.
Dr Hanekamp argues that the WHO is endangering lives by focusing too much on unknown and unproven risks resulting from everyday chemicals and substances — a major focus of the ongoing Environment and Health Ministerial here in Budapest.
Health ministers, especially those from poor countries, should not be distracted from a broader development agenda by focusing obsessively on taking ‘precautionary measures’ to deal with negligible or irrelevant ‘environmental’ concerns,” he stated.
