Just a couple of issues that I wanted to highlight:

• there are 128 signatories to the treaty, out of 137 parties is a bit confusing.
• To help those who are not familiar with the UNTC terms, we should perhaps add a footnote that explains what each status means.
• On mercuryconvention.org, they list 159 participants, yet only 154 are listed on the article. Since I'm not sure whether there is a valid reason for that, I will leave here the table that I generated based on what's on their website (see collapsed table below) for others to review.

I doubt that we should keep this long list of signatories and parties in the article, especially as we now have your map of parties. --Leyo 22:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Dead draft link

Hi, the link for the convention's text is dead, UNEP reorganized their site so here is the working link: [1]. Have a good day. Handarii (talk) 21:24, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I replaced the dead link with https://www.mercuryconvention.org/sites/default/files/documents/information_document/Minamata-Convention-booklet-Sep2019-EN.pdf. --Leyo 23:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @Leyo:. Handarii (talk) 07:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
