In parallel with these subjects, it is mentioned that the dangerous chemicals and pesticides are problems of all world’s nations whether they are developed or developing countries.

This kind of problems led to be taken a global action by developed and developing countries at late 1980s. “International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides” (in short; Code of Conduct) and “The London Guidelines for the Exchange of Information on Chemicals in International Trade” (in short; London Guidelines) were two important but voluntary applications taken regarding to this problem. This article also emphasizes the historical stage, functioning, strong and weak points of the Prior Informed Consent procedure was subjected at first in Code of Conduct and London Guidelines and then after in Rotterdam Convention that a document legally binds the parties.
