The Stockholm Convention on Organic Pollutants contains an explicit exemption for DDT used for disease vector control. ( http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/convention_text/UNEP-POPS-COP-CONVTEXT-FULL.English.PDF http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/convention_text/UNE... page 28.) Your "millions have perished from being denied it" is incorrect. I don't know whether that's the Wall Street Journal's fault, because I won't pay them to find out whether they're wrong.

Been awhile since I researched the topic, but it was clear Africa counties got a lot heat each time they tried to use DDT. So I will stick by millions dead.
