- W218174542 abstract "The increasing dominance of developing countries like India, China, Bangladesh and Pakistan in the global ship-breaking industry illustrates the paradoxical nature of economic globalization. While such operations provide access to employment and cheap material resources, they also pose serious long-term and irreversible harm to local environment and human health. In addition, the transnational character of the ship-breaking trade has militated against effective domestic oversight of its environmental hazards and has turned international regulation into an imperative. This article reviews the international attempts to mitigate the environmental concerns underlying ship-breaking. The Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes 1989 was one such attempt which however suffered from certain gaps in its implementation. These lacunae in the Basel regime have led to the adoption of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships in May 2009. The paper compares the key features of this new Convention with the Basel regime and infers that while the former has made few significant breakthroughs in oversight of trade in end-of-life ships, not only does it ignore certain basic norms of international environmental law including the ‘polluter pays principle’ but it also contains the same gaping holes that were discovered during the application of Basel Convention to ship-breaking." @default.
