UNITAR : Options for legislation and standard setting to implement the GHS (2021)

This document is intended to provide guidance for countries that choose to develop legislation and/or standards in order to give effect to the GHS. It is intended to help with further steps to develop national legislation and/or standards in the light of their own constitutional legal practices, regional, bilateral or multilateral agreements they would be bound to comply with, or multilateral treaties they may be Parties to, by providing examples of countries that have already developed such legislation or standards, alongside other relevant information. The guidance is flexible in nature; it is not meant to be prescriptive. Each country can consider the suggested step-by-step approach and make decisions on the best option to be used for development of legislation and standard setting for implementation of the GHS in accordance with its own preferences, priorities and national circumstances.
