This book discusses the adverse effects of the illicit movement and dumping of hazardous, toxic, and dangerous wastes and products in developing countries, and the effect of such activities on the enjoyment of human rights, more from the perspective of the resolutions of the former United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights (CHR). It is now called Human Rights Council. This study stands for the proposition that the illicit movement and dumping of toxic and dangerous wastes and products adversely affect the environment and human rights to life and health. It illustrates that dumpers are mainly transnational corporations. It demonstrates that, although the international community is aware of the effects of toxic wastes dumping on human rights, there exist certain factors militating against the full implementation of CHR resolutions on toxic wastes. These factors are: the politics of human rights, and the politics of first and second generation rights; the inequity of international legal instruments; the lack of will or commitment of certain states to comply with their international obligations; the attitude of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) towards the Special Rapporteur on Toxic Wastes; the status of international human rights laws; and the legal status of the CHR's resolutions. However, despite the difficulties in implementing the CHR's resolutions, the study supports the proposition that dumpers should be prosecuted for criminal activities in accordance with the state's domestic laws. Victims should be able to receive compensation for physical and emotional injuries, economic loss, and substantial impairment of their fundamental rights resulting from human rights violations. Specifically, developing countries should construct domestic legal system to protect such fundamental rights.

Industrial Disasters, Toxic Waste, and Community Impact focuses on hazardous and toxic wastes releases, industrial disasters, the consequent contamination of communities and the environment, and the subsequent social impacts, including adverse health effects, deaths and property destruction, psychosocial problems, and community disruption. This book explains the emergence of a sociological study of risk and of natural, technological, and hybrid disasters, along with a review of the accumulated body of knowledge in the field. It is unique in its integration of sociological perspectives with perspectives from other disciplines when discussing the problems posed by technological hazards both in advanced industrialized societies and in the underdeveloped world. Francis O. Adeola extends the field through an innovative presentation of topics which up to now have had sparse treatment in sociology texts. This book starts by presenting the sociology of hazardous waste, risk, and disasters as a relatively new development, engendering both a growing passion and an increasing volume of empirical research among scholars. Next, it describes how hazardous and toxic wastes disposal, exposure, remediation, and proximate adverse health consequences have risen to the level of endemic social problem both in the United States and around the world. After discussing these cases in relation to contemporary theories of industrial and organizational disasters, Adeola delves into classifying of hazardous wastes, indicating the characteristics of each type of waste, and identifying what makes them especially dangerous to people and the environment. Other major topics addressed in the rest of the book include electronic waste (e-waste) as a new species of trouble in terms of the volume and toxicity of global e-waste generation and management, the environmental and health risks of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), case studies of contaminated communities within the United States and across the globe, the international flows of toxic waste, analysis of risk and environmental contamination by race and ethnicity in the United States, and the juxtaposition of the issues of environmental justice and human rights. With its many contributions to environmental sociology, Industrial Disasters, Toxic Waste, and Community Impact will be a valuable addition to the libraries of students, scholars, and practitioners interested in the intersection of toxic waste releases, human exposure to contaminants, and public health.
