Zimbabwe is one of the 147 countries which signed the convention and is working towards ratification. The document obliges member states to ensure there is informed consent from the receiving state in relation to the trade in mercury or mercury based products.
Trade in mercury or mercury based products will be restricted to allowed purposes under the instrument and also domestic law, and only in quantities needed for those purposes. The instrument will also put restrictive measures on the use of mercury especially in the mining sector.
