Supreme Court sides with Monsanto in case over cancer risks from weedkiller Roundup

10. IARC did,

but that's a bit controversial since the author of the guiding paper was already under contract, it would appear, to be a paid expert witness in a glyphosate case a few weeks later. Or so the story goes. But IARC is the only WHO committee that made that determination. But I've read that they've also said that red meat's also carcinogenic and while I'm sure some would like to see that banned, even countries that have banned glyphosate haven't abided by that much more widespread pernicious habit. Same for some hot beverages, I've also seen claimed, but haven't checked the IARC site for that.

Another EU-sponsored committee on review of the literature didn't reach the same finding, and the EPA didn't, either, back in 2/20, and the following 5 years didn't see that revised. The EU re-authorized its use even after the IARC finding based on the EU-sponsored lit review; that authorization expires in '33. Individual countries and sub-national jurisdictions like some provinces in Spain do impose some more restrictive bans--so some allow agricultural use but not use immediately pre-harvest or in public areas. Most appear to allow widespread personal use. Some Indian states have banned it. The PRC's cool with its use. A number of other countries are also okay with it. Even Canada doesn't say it's banned, just more tightly regulated, perhaps, than in the US.

And those countries would probably--well, maybe not the PRC--ban it if it were clearly found to be carcinogenic.

"Rest of the world" might just be a slight overstatement.
