Basel Prior Informed Consent Register

PROBLEM: Under the Basel Convention, no hazardous waste may be exported until the exporting country notifies the importing country and any transit countries, and the importing country gives prior written consent. Prior informed consent is the treaty's central control — and consent is a document that can be lost, forged, or never obtained. With 191 parties to the Convention, the consent record for any shipment is only as good as the register that holds it.

SOLUTION: A Basel prior informed consent register: every transboundary hazardous-waste shipment logged with its notification, its transit-country notices and its written consent, with any shipment lacking consent flagged before departure — so the treaty's central control is a checkable record.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Basel Convention adopted March 22, 1989, in force May 5, 1992; 191 parties; prior informed consent required; sources: EBSCO; Basel Convention Secretariat text (revised 2025); IISD.
