The country, one of the poorest in the world, became the 183rd nation to agree to abide by the Convention.
The Convention was adopted in October 2005 and is the practical instrument by which Governments formalise their commitment to the fight against doping.
Given that many Governments cannot be bound by a non-Governmental document such as the World Anti-Doping Code, the Convention allows them to align their domestic policies with the Code, thus harmonising the rules governing anti-doping in sport and public legislation.
