The International Convention against Doping in Sport (Convention) is the first global treaty against doping in sport. It was adopted unanimously by the 33rd UNESCO General Conference on October 19, 2005, and went into force on February 1, 2007, following the 30th ratification. UNESCO Member States are now ratifying it individually according to their respective constitutional jurisdictions.

The Convention is available in six languages: English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Chinese. These versions are available in a single document posted in the Download Center.

A timeline of key dates can be found under Archives in the menu to the right.
