About this statute

This preamble says Colombia is approving the Basel Protocol on liability and compensation for damage from transboundary hazardous waste movements and disposal. The Protocol’s objective is to create a global system for prompt and adequate liability and compensation for damage caused by cross-border movements and disposal of hazardous and other waste, including illegal trafficking. This article defines key terms used in the Protocol, including Convention, hazardous wastes, damage, restoration measures, preventive measures, incident, parties, regional economic integration organizations, and accounting units. El artículo delimita cuándo se aplica el Protocolo a daños por movimientos transfronterizos de desechos peligrosos y cuándo puede quedar excluido, y ordena a la secretaría informar las notificaciones recibidas. Regula quién responde por daños causados por ciertos desechos peligrosos y cuándo pasa esa responsabilidad al eliminador.
