Tri-M Waste Treaty Project: A Discussion Paper
AbstractThis discussion paper arises out of a grant funded by the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Murdoch University Research Board, and Murdoch University School of Law to review the need for an international convention on waste minimization, management, and trans-boundary movement. The Tri-M (minimization, management, and movement) Waste Treaty Project was established in the Law School in late 2001 to develop, with other interested partners in and outside the University, a research proposal that will result in a draft waste treaty for consideration by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This draft discussion paper is the initial step in this project. It defines the subject matter, considers the magnitude of the problem and concludes with a recommendation for further study to develop a draft waste treaty. |
