Legal Frameworks to Address Waste Trafficking in the ASEAN Region: Review and Gap Analysis

This report features the findings of a review of the legal frameworks that target waste trafficking in Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The assessment was undertaken as a contribution of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to the work of the Unwaste project on tackling waste trafficking to support a circular economy, which is being implemented by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in cooperation with UNEP. The Unwaste project focuses on combating trafficking in waste between Europe and Southeast Asia by promoting enhanced partnerships between the European Union and ASEAN Member States, in support of ongoing efforts towards a circular economy transition.
