The Marine Environment Proctection Committee adopted in principle, at its forty-second session in November 1998, a draft protocol on preparedness, response and co-operation to pollution incidents by hazardous and noxious substances. Together with the OPRC Convention, the OPRC-HNS Protocol will provide a framework for international co-operation in establishing systems for preparedness and response at the national, regional and global levels.
