How Does the Basel Convention Work?

The Basel Convention establishes a regulatory framework for controlling the transboundary movements of hazardous waste. Countries must adhere to a "prior informed consent" procedure, which requires exporting countries to obtain consent from the importing country before any shipment of hazardous waste. This process ensures that all parties are aware of the waste's nature, risks, and potential environmental impact.
