The paper discusses the effectiveness of international regime that deals with hazardous wastes trade. The Basel Convention was specifically designed to control international transportation of hazardous wastes. However, the implementation of the regime has not been successful in that the frequency and amount of wastes trade are not declining. This study examines statistics and theoretical perspectives of the wastes transportation, problems of existing regimes, and finally several policy recommendations that can make the regime work more effectively. The policy recommendations focus on improving the roles of non-governmental organizations, relationship with bilateral and/or regional agreements, compensation liability for damage resulting from wastes movement, and harmonization with domestic regulation.
