History
The Rotterdam Convention is a global treaty to manage chemicals in international trade.
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) developed and promoted voluntary information exchange programmes in the mid-1980s. A series of meetings and activity led to the formalisation of the Rotterdam Convention. The text of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade was adopted and opened for signature at the Conference of Plenipotentiaries held in Rotterdam on 10 September 1998.
The Convention entered into force on 24 February 2004 and became legally binding for its parties.
