According to the rules of the Basel Convention, the most industrialized countries in the world - belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - and developing non-OECD countries can sell hazardous waste provided they meet the requirements of notifications and previous between the Parties involved, combined with a risk management environmentally sound hazardous waste consents. However, the conditions set by the agreement of the Basel Convention were not sufficient to prevent the continuation of illegal trafficking. In subsequent meetings of the Parties to the Convention, it was decided to prohibit the movement of hazardous waste between OECD and non-OECD countries through an amendment to the Basel Convention that has still not been ratified. Although the amendment is not in force, countries may also prohibit trade of hazardous waste through their national legislation if they are interested - as recently did in Brazil with the National Solid Waste that banned the import of hazardous waste. On the other hand, if the ban amendment is approved in the future, institutionally weaker countries receive greater protection from this kind of trade. This dissertation investigates the trade in hazardous waste between OECD and non-OECD countries between 2000 and 2010, highlighting Brazil's insertion in the regulatory framework of the National Solid Waste Policy and the Basel Convention, seeking to test the hypothesis that OECD countries send hazardous waste to non-OECD countries, and also if the ...
