The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a comprehensive global attempt to reduce the risks of organic pollutants on human health and the environment. This work analyses the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) prepared under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme Chemical Division. The treaty entered into force May 17, 2004 as the first international legal instrument to focus attention on the dangers of persistent organic pollutants - chemicals that are commonly used as pesticides in agriculture and to control insects causing diseases like malaria.

Editorial Reviews
Review
This concise treatise is the only book to date on the subject of the Stockholm Convention, but is comprehensive enough to give the reader a thorough grasp of the background, terms, and ramifications of the agreement. Olsen's writing is detailed and systematic, yet his style is clear and accessible enough that the book can serve as an introduction to the field of international environmental law. As the only extant monograph on the Stockholm Convention, it is a smart addition to any library."
