| dc.description.abstract | The movement of hazardous wastes for disposal in underdeveloped nations has been characterized as a global kind of environmental injustice and toxic colonization. This practice has been met with opposition from the public.1 In response to public outcry and criticism from environmentalists against the practice of utilizing underdeveloped nations as waste damping sites, the Basel convention has been adopted in 1989 to control the movement of dangerous waste.2 African countries ratified the Bamako convention in 1991 with several fundamental modifications to the Basel convention because they were dissatisfied with the former. Ethiopia has ratified both conventions, and also adopted different national legislations and established institutions to control movement of dangerous waste and its disposal. Hence, the purpose of this research is to critically analysis the legal and institutional frameworks of Ethiopia to control movement of hazardous waste and its disposal | |
