The Minamata Convention on Mercury, of which Saint Kitts and Nevis is Party, is a global treaty that aims to protect human health and the environment from the effects of mercury.
According to Williams, the convention could address areas such as a ban on new mercury mines, the phase out of those in existence, control measures on air emission, control measures on storage, and the international regulation of informal sector for artisanal and small scale gold mining.
