Is there a WTO obligation to treat domestic and foreign waste the same? Does any country do that? Should there be an obligation?

- theossuary 9y agoWho cares, US just recently disregarded the WTO with China, why shouldn't they?
- hhhhjj 9y agoNot sure. But I would imagine there aren’t a lot of countries importing foreign waste. Probably China has been the main importer of such, since I can’t imagine other countries doing so and with such volumes. Foreign waste as a concept shouldn’t even exist in the first place since it simply shifts pollution elsewhere. It isn’t solving any problems other than sweeping it under the rug, so there shouldn’t be an obligation to do so to begin with.
