There are two categories of information in this section: general background information and background articles. General background information includes fact sheets, links to web pages and other material that provides a basic introduction to the history, objectives and key provisions of treaties and also to how some of the treaty bodies operate. The general information materials are intended primarily for users who are new to the topics, or who have only basic knowledge about them. In contrast, the background articles offer a more scholarly, in-depth discussion of some of the issues related to national implementation of NBC obligations.
