  Rotterdam convention secretariat | Improved pesticides and chemicals management in the Former Soviet

The Convention prevents unwanted trade in the chemicals included in the legally binding prior informed consent (PIC) procedure.  (...) Rotterdam Convention provides early warning on dangerous chemicals and prevents the unwanted international trade on certain chemicals. The Rotterdam Convention's approach is to stop problems with hazardous chemicals before they start, by impeding exports of unwanted hazardous chemicals to countries that cannot manage them.

One in five girls aged 18-24 had experienced unwanted sexual touching before the age of 18 (20.2 per cent) compared to 5.6 per cent of boys. (...) Females aged 18-24 years who experienced emotional violence prior to age 18 years were made to feel unwanted by aunts (29.5 per cent) and uncles (20.6 per cent). Fathers (25.0 per cent) and uncles (30.4 per cent) were most likely to make males of the same age group feel unwanted. Females and males aged 13-17 years were mainly made to feel unwanted by grandparents and aunts in the 12 months preceding the survey.1 Violence against children occurs in homes, schools and in the community.

  Reducing the impact of fishing on ecosystems | Responsible Fishing Practices for Sustainable Fisheri

It is envisaged that actions taken in this area will support States, especially developing countries including Small Island Developing States (SIDS), by providing assistance to put in place policies and measures to effectively address environmental and biodiversity impacts of fishing operations that have been identified in each particular country context. Actions will be particularly focused on addressing discards, catch of unwanted bycatch of both fish and non-fish, catch by abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) also called ‘ghost fishing’, preventing and reducing ALDFG, improving energy efficiency, and promoting the implementation of best practice measures for the use and management of different types of fishing gear, in particular those most commonly associated with harmful and avoidable impacts on the marine environment, or on marine species.

A next phase REBYC III project is currently being considered to achieve further reduction of unwanted and incidental bycatch in fisheries of the Caribbean and Latin American region. Whilst previous projects focused on reducing unwanted bycatches in trawl fisheries, the new project will be extended to include other fishing gears.
