Morocco approves Bamako Convention on ban of import into Africa

RABAT, July 27 -- Morocco approved on Thursday the Bamako Convention on the ban of the import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa.
The approval of the convention was made at a government weekly meeting in Rabat.
The convention, established by African nations in 1991 and entered into force in 1998, aims to protect people's health and the environment in African countries through a ban on the import of all hazardous and radioactive wastes.
It also prohibits dumping of hazardous wastes in oceans and inland waters, and promotes the minimization and control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes within the African continent.
African nations have long been at the center of incidents involving hazardous waste dumping, and the continent continues to be affected by the dumping of harmful chemical materials. (Xinhua)
