The negotiations led to the creation of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management, which was adopted at the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM) in Dubai on 6 February 2006 (Tuncak and Ditz 2013). The preparatory process was characterized by remarkably broad stakeholder participation, which also left its marks on the outcome instrument. Its overall objective is "to achieve the sound management of chemicals throughout their life cycle so that, by 2020, chemicals are used and produced in ways that lead to the minimization of significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. The framework is broad in scope, covering environmental, economic, social, health, labour, and trade-related aspects of all chemicals in global use.
