Hazardous and other wastes Rules 2016 are introduced to cover which of the following international convention ?
Basel Convention
The Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 were made under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. They give effect to India's obligations under the Basel Convention (1989) on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.
The Rio Convention relates to environment and development, the Paris Convention to industrial property or climate, and the Kyoto Convention to customs procedures or climate protocol; none governs hazardous waste movement.
Hence, the answer is the Basel Convention.
