This book is the first collection of international legal documents related to the new, highly controversial & politically sensitive issue of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes & their disposal. It will be of invaluable assistance to practicing lawyers & other experts, academics as well as students, concerned with the rapid developments in international environmental law. The global instruments cover the basic system of the UNEP Basel Convention/IAEA Code & the documents of various United Nations organizations, whose interest with hazardous waste movements has increased considerably due to the preparations for the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment & Development (UNCED). Numerous regional instruments included are: those of the UN ECE, OECD, EEC & other organizations of the industrialized states; instruments related to Antarctica; & to the major developing state regions (Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean, South Atlantic Zone, Asia & the Pacific), including the 1998 ACP-EEC Lome IV Convention & the 1991 OAU Bamako Convention. Two US treaties on hazardous waste export controls with Mexico & Canada form notable instances of bilateral measures. Some documents of Greenpeace & other non-governmental organizations are also added. An incisive Editors' Introduction & a comprehensive general index provide the reader with easy access to these vital instruments. This timely work aims to clarify & aid the increasingly intricate international debate on hazardous waste production & disposal, & reduce the conflict between North & South on the export of such waste to Third World countries. In addition, the prospects of South-South traffic, as developing states push towards industrialization, underline the urgent need for prompt & tough action. The Editors Barbara Kwiatkowska & Alfred Soons, both experienced authors on international law issues have been guided in the preparation of this unique collection by several outstanding experts, members of the Volume's Advisory Board, including Francis Njenga, S ecretary-General, Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee , New Delhi, Peter Sand, Principal Legal Officer, UNCED-Geneva, Henri Smets, Environment Directorate, OECD, Paris, Lee A. Kimball, Senior Associate, World Resources Institute, Washington, D.C. , Hans Lammers, Deputy Legal Adviser, Netherlands Foreign Office, The Hague & Iwona Rummel-Bulska, Chief, Environmental Law & Institutions Unit & Coordinator of the Basel Convention, UNEP-Nairobi/Geneva. The leading role of UNEP in seeking satisfactory solutions to the new environmental problems raised by hazardous wastes is accentuated in the Preface to the book by the honourable Dr Mostafa K. Tolba, E xecutive-Director of UNEP. The 'collective approach is' as he rightly put it 'our only option to care & share the only one Earth'.

"Part one is the Annual Review of Strategies and Policies for Air Pollution Abatement. It is compiled on the basis of national data and reports received up to 31 December 1992. The focus of the review is on policy measures to implement the 1979 Convention and its related genoxides and volatile organic compounds. Part two contains results of scenario analysis for sulphur abatement strategies. Part three is an executive summary of the 1992 Report on Forest Condition in Europe, carried out under the International Cooperative Programme for Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests."--Introd.

The Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreement was established to provide "a practical and effective instrument to address shared concerns regarding transboundary air pollution". Initially, the Agreement was intended to address the primary pollutants responsible for acid rain. However, the Agreement also confirmed the commitment of the United States and Canada to consult on, and develop, the means to address other transboundary air pollution issues, including particulate matter. The Subcommittee on Scientific Cooperation of the AIr Quality Committee was charged to summarize and understand the current knowledge of transboundary transport of particulate matter (PM) and PM precursors between Canada and the United States in a scientific assessment. The assessment represents a significant co-operative effort between scientists in Canada and the United States, and in several cases, the information provided is the first presentation of joint scientific results. The report contains findings on ambient levels, data analyses, and the application of modelling tools in both Canada and the United States. This Assessment will provide the initial scientific knowledge required to determine the need for a PM annex pursuant to the Air Quality Agreement.

The literature on air quality and international environmental relations, including Canadian-U.S. environmental relations, has burgeoned in the last decade but still lacks discussion connecting these transnational air pollution questions to broader concerns of the nation and society. This paper begins with a general treatment of questions of sovereignty, then discusses specific instances of Canadian-U.S. transboundary air quality history, describing the broader implications of what otherwise may appear to be site-specific matters of local concern. The broader issues of acid rain are then discussed, with possible remedies suggested.

This book reveals the many harms which flow across the ever-more porous sovereign borders of a globalising world. These harms expose weaknesses in the international legal regime built on sovereignty of nation states. Using the Trail Smelter Arbitration, one of the most cited cases in international environmental law, this book explores the changing nature of state responses to transboundary harm. Taking a critical approach, the book examines the arbitration's influence on international law generally, and international environmental law specifically. In particular, the book explores whether there are lessons from Trail Smelter that are useful for resolving transboundary challenges confronting the international community. The book collects the commentary of a distinguished set of international law scholars who consider the history of the Trail Smelter arbitration, its significance for international environmental law, its broader relationship to international law, and its resonance in fields beyond the environment.
