Issued also in HTML format. "The London Convention was an international response to decades of dumping into the ocean. It was amongthe first global treaties to protect the marine environment from human activities, and halted the dumping and burning of industrial and radioactive wastes at sea. In the 1990s, Convention countries recognized the needfor a more cautious approach, and decided to adopt a new, freestanding treaty called the 1996 Protocol to theConvention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter 1972 (called theLondon Protocol for short). This new Protocol will eventually replace the Convention. Although Canada is Party to both treaties, we only implement the Protocol (by doing this, we also meet our Convention obligations)"--Plain language summary. gccst Water pollution gccst Multilateral agreements Canada.
