Marine Pollution Control in the West and Central African Region

handle is hein.journals/queen20 and id is 451 raw text is: Marine Pollution Control in the West and Central African Region David M. Dzidzornu' The Abidjan Convention has been in forcefor more than a decade, but the twenty-one countries of West and Central Africa have made very little progress toward developing a successful regional approach to marine pollution control. In examining the failure of States to adequately implement the provisions of the Convention, Mr. Dzidzornu first outlines African environmental policy in general, before discussing the nature of regional marine pollution control agreements sponsored by the Regional Seas Pro- gramme of the United Nations Environment Programme. He concludes that, although the Convention provides a suitable legal framework for resolving marine pollution problems, the nations of the region lack the necessary political will to enforce environ- mental regulations which might discourage badly needed foreign investment.
