90 Parties were present and voting at COP3. 3/4 of 90 is 67.5, or rounded up, 68. Currently we have 66 Parties from this list of 90. Thus, we need but 2 more!
If we get the two deposited by COP14 then the Entry into Force of the Amendment (which happens 90 days after the deposit of 68) will be guaranteed and there will be cause for celebration at COP14. Bear in mind that although treaty ratification is a political act, your department or agency has a role to play in initiating the effort by raising the opportunity with your Minister or your permanent representative in Geneva. Please contact the Basel Secretariat's legal office for full instructions on precisely how to deposit your instrument of ratification and be ready to state your country's intention at COP.
