The objective of the Rotterdam Convention is to promote shared responsibility and cooperative efforts among Parties, when engaged in the international trade of hazardous chemicals, in order to protect human health and the environment. When the text of the Convention was adopted in Rotterdam in September 1998, the member governments also agreed to implement the Convention on a voluntary basis as the “Interim PIC procedure” until such time as the Convention entered into force. The Convention entered into force on 24 February 2004 and became legally binding for its Parties.
