Reviews
`It is fair to say that this must now be regarded as the definitive study of the international legal regime for the regulation of transboundary hazardous wastes...a masterly critique of the regime which strongly links it with the established and emerging principles of international environmental law...This is international environmental law scholarship at its best. It combines a rigorous command of technical detail with a wider horizon of emerging principles. This is an important contribution to the Oxford Monograph series. It is heartening to see that the editor, Professor Brownlie, promises other studies on protection of the environment for the series. However, this will be a difficult act to follow.' David Freestone, International and Comparative Law Quarterly `The book casts well-deserved attention on the 1989 Basel Convention as the first global attempt to devise standards for controlling the increasing international traffic in, and accidents involving, some very toxic substances.'' ASIL Newsletter August 1997 `A worthy addition to the Oxford Monographs in International Law series ... a well-researched and comprehensive reference work.' Nicholas Grief, Scottish Planning and Environmental Law, Aug 99
