2)Purpose of writing text
the Basel Convention has been reducing and restricting the transboundary movement of hazardous waste. The weak control based on prior informed a very consent which means waste-producing countries could still legally pay poorer countries to accept toxic waste, avoiding waste reduction while turning the trash into a commodity. In addition, multi-millions of non-biodegradable cannot be discarded , where their own disposal also cannot be reduced in time because of the added waste from other country.
G7 nations’ impressive waste collection schedule disguises the reality that if these countries were to manage and contain their own plastic waste, processing it would cost significantly more. Therefore, 95% of plastic waste collected in the European Union and 70% in the US were sold to China where they are repurposed by plastic manufacturers, making plastic waste the new commodity.

Poor waste management standards in developing nations especially East Asia and Pacific countries accounted for 60% of global mismanaged plastic waste in 2010 with China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam contributing 7-13kg of marine plastic waste per person.

2) The purpose of writing text
The objective of this article is to show the weakness of the Basel Convention based on the law itself.

The Basel convention is known to be made to control the waste movements from a developed country to less developed country. It is made to ensure that no hazardous waste can be moved to other country without proper agreement between those two countries. It has its benefits but it also has it weaknesses.

The author stated some weaknesses of the Basel Convention:

1) Strong on waste movement, weak on disposal. The Basel Convention allow waste disposal solely in accordance of the Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal yet the Basel Convention does not set legally binding destruction obligations, rather it only can offer weak, non-binding disposal guidelines.

2) The Basel Convention was designed for the very specific purpose of regulating transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and was not designed to regulate disposal practices or operations. From here, we can see that even though the movement of the waste between two countries is agreed by both countries using this Basel Convention, the citizen of the less developed countries may be suffering because their country does not have the proper equipment and environment to dispose the waste. The Basel Convention may protect the country from hazardous waste but it still accept waste and waste may give more pollution. The waste may give pollution such as air pollution and water pollution that come from the waste.

Formal

4) Conclusion
Even though Basel Convention is good as it can control the movement of trash between two or more countries, it still has its weaknesses such as what happen after the country receive the trash, how will it be disposed and do the country have the proper equipment and technology to handle it to ensure that it will not pollute the country.
