The Basel Convention is a global treaty enacted to manage and control the international movement of hazardous wastes.
Its primary objective is to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of the generation, management, and transboundary movement of hazardous and other wastes.
Therefore, the Basel Convention is directly related to the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes and their disposal.
