Protocols to the Convention

Protocols to the Convention are formal agreements that add specific rules or obligations to an existing international treaty or treaty framework. They are designed to strengthen, expand, or clarify the original agreement's objectives and implementation measures. By adopting a protocol, countries commit to additional actions or standards, ensuring the treaty's goals are more effectively achieved. Think of them as supplementary contracts that build on the main treaty, helping address evolving issues or challenges while maintaining international cooperation.
