Explanation:

The Minamata Convention on Mercury is a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of mercury and its compounds.

• It was agreed at the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee in Geneva, Switzerland 2013.
• Controlling the anthropogenic releases of mercury throughout its lifecycle is one of the key obligations under the Convention.
• The Convention also addresses interim storage of mercury and its disposal once it becomes waste, sites contaminated by mercury as well as health issues.

The Convention covers all aspects of the life cycle of mercury, controlling and reducing mercury across a range of products, processes and industries. This includes controls on:

• mercury mining
• the manufacture and trade of mercury and products containing mercury
• disposal of mercury waste
• emissions of mercury from industrial facilities.

Countries that have ratified the Convention are bound by international law to put these controls in place.

• India has ratified the Convention.

Hence option 1st is correct.
