The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, including those materials that contain polluting chemicals such as EDC. It is made, among others, taking into account the United Nations World Charter for Nature22.

The main objective is to comply with international obligations in the protection of human health and the environment. As well as developing technologies that generate minimal waste and promote recycling. The agreement was adopted on March 22, 1989, entering into force on May 5, 199223.

It is interesting that the three conventions are based, on the right that all states have, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law, to benefit their own resources in accordance with their own policies on the matter of environment and development, however it is important that each state manage the waste derived from the use of their resources, especially without harming developing countries. Note that for decades, this has not been the case.

Regulation (EC) No. 850/2004 of April 29, relative to persistent organic pollutants, referred to the need for coordination between the Rotterdam, Stockholm and Basel Conventions within the framework of the United Nations for chemical substances24.

15. Persistent organic pollutants are understood to be all those chemical substances that can persist in the environment for a long period of time, accumulate in adipose tissue and can travel long distances either through water, air or through the migration of contaminated species. This being the case, these types of substances have even been found in areas far from normal human activities such as in the habitat of Arctic polar bears. (Among the persistent organics we find some with endocrine disruption capacity, for example, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Fluorine perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOs), Hexochlorobenzene (HCB), Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB).
