Abstract/Description:

This chapter examines various instruments that ASEAN has adopted and cooperative mechanisms that ASEAN has established to deal with regional transboundary haze pollution in Southeast Asia. In particular, the chapter analyses the 2002 ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution and various substantive and procedural provisions therein that may affect its effectiveness. The chapter also includes suggestions on the steps that countries in the region can take towards remedying the issue of transboundary air pollution through legal and political measures.
