MLC 65% EFFECTIVE SAYS SRI

The findings identify substantial achievements in the enforcement of the MLC but also identify significant gaps. The research has adopted a unique approach by evaluating the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders and role players in the Convention. It also presents a Table with a selection of indicators that aim to provide a reasonably comprehensive, balanced and broad-based assessment of the global effectiveness of the MLC.

Taking the findings and the Table as a whole and aggregating all regions of the world, it is very approximately estimated that implementation and enforcement of the MLC is achieving a success rate of around 65%.
