Beskrivning
Uncontrolled transboundary transfer of hazardous wastes was recognized as a major environmental problem in the mid-1980s. The international community responded by elaborating pertinent international agreements. Treaties are now in place at the global and regional levels, and additional ones are being negotiated. Despite their common aim of protecting the environment against the ill-effects of hazardous wastes, they often differ in stringency as well as scope and membership.The book analyses the key treaties and other international legal rules on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes. It identifies inconsistencies, gaps, and overlaps, and proposes ways to build a comprehensive global regulatory system for the management of hazardous wastes by harmonizing relevant international legal rules.

It is fair to say that this must now be regarded as the definitive study of the international legal regime for the regulation of transboundary hazardous wastes...a masterly critique of the regime which strongly links it with the established and emerging principles of international environmental law...This is international environmental law scholarship at its best. It combines a rigorous command of technical detail with a wider horizon of emerging principles. This is an important contribution to the Oxford Monograph series. It is heartening to see that the editor, Professor Brownlie, promises other studies on protection of the environment for the series. However, this will be a difficult act to follow.
