Trans-boundary control movements of hazardous wastes
Abstract
The Basel Convention is an international agreement between states on the control of the movement of harmful wastes across national borders and their disposal (hereinafter referred to as the "Basel Convention"), which was approved in 1989, when the media drew attention to numerous cases of inappropriate waste disposal in Eastern Europe and Africa. This document explains that this Basel Convention does not live up to its promise to protect the developing country and how to reduce the transboundary impact of harmful wastes with increasing environmental and human health issues. It is argued that the rules of this convention mostly focus on dangerous activities under the national jurisdiction of a state and affecting other states, but do not provide sufficient guidance as they recall some of the limitations of this Basel Convention. However, if the above problems continue, it will have a huge impact on human health and the environment. This document will show the way to control hazardous wastes and secure the environment, including human health, and then protect the source of production with the sustainable use of assets by developing the management of hazardous wastes and other wastes.
