Bamako Convention is the ban on the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa is a treaty of African nations prohibiting the import of any hazardous (including radioactive) waste.

The Convention was negotiated by twelve nations of the Organisation of African Unity at Bamako, Mali in January, 1991, and came into force in 1998.

This impression was strengthened by several prominent cases. One important case, which occurred in 1987, concerned the importation into Nigeria of 18,000 barrels (2,900 m3) of hazardous waste from the Italian companies Ecomar and Jelly Wax, which had agreed to pay local farmer Sunday Nana $100 per month for storage

The barrels, found in storage in the port of Koko, contained toxic waste including polychlorinated biphenyls, and their eventual shipment back to Italy led to protests closing three Italian ports

Basel Convention

Is an international treaty that was designed to reduce the movement of hazardous waste between nations and specifically to prevent transfer of hazardous waste from develops to less developed countries.

The convection was opened for signature on march 1989 and entered into force of 5 may 1992 as of July 2016, 183 stated and the European union are parties to the conversion

PURPOSE OF THE CONVENTION

Prohibit the import of all hazardous and radioactive wastes into the African continent for any reason

Minimize and control transboundary movements of hazardous wastes within the African continent.

Prohibit all ocean and inland water dumping or incineration of hazardous wastes.

Ensure that disposal of wastes is conducted in an environmentally sound manner

Promote cleaner production over the pursuit of a permissible emissions approach based on assimilative capacity assumptions

Establish the precautionary principle.

HAZARDOUS WASTE

Hazardous waste substance is a material that may pose danger to living organism materials, structure or the environment by explosion or fire hazard, corrosive, toxic to organism or other environmental

3 basic approach to define hazardous waste

1.A qualitative description by origin type and constituents

2.Classification by characteristic largely based upon testing procedure

3.By means of concentration of specific hazardous substance

Listed hazardous Waste

Are materials specifically listed but regulatory authorities as a hazardous waste which are from non-specific source specific source or discarded chemical products

Waste containing specific substance or classes of substance have been determined EPA (environmental protection agency) to be hazardous

Characteristic of hazardous waste

Ignitability

Liquids the vapours of which are likely to ignite in the presence of ignition sources non liquids that may catch fire from friction or contact with water and which burn vigorously or persist, ignitable comprised gases and oxides

Corrosively.
Substance That Exhibit Extreme Of Acidity Or Basicity Or A Tendency To Corrode

Reactivity
Substance That Have Tendency To Undergo Violent Chemical Change E.G. Explosive, Pyrophoric Material, Cyanide And Sulphide Bearing Water

Toxicity

This refers to the term of a standard extraction procedure followed by chemical analysis for specific substance

Conclusion

Countries should ban the import of hazardous and radioactive wastes as well as all forms of ocean disposal.

For intra-African waste trade, parties must minimize the transboundary movement of wastes and only conduct it with consent of the importing and transit states among other controls. They should minimize the production of hazardous wastes and cooperate to ensure that wastes are treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
