	WAIGANI CONVENTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The objective of the Waigani Convention is to stop the import of hazardous and radioactive waste into the South Pacific region, to minimise production within the region and to ensure the environmentally sound management and disposal of already existing waste.
		The Waigani Convention provides a mechanism to stop waste traders from using the South Pacific as a highway for hazardous waste or as a waste dump.
		Once a party to the Waigani Convention, a country is eligible for technical and financial assistance to help in the management of hazardous or nuclear waste, thereby creating an effective regional mechanism to facilitate the cleanup of hazardous and radioactive waste.

		I believe it is fair to observe that work under the Waigani Convention has proceeded at a very brisk pace since the first meeting of the parties in 2002.
		In addition to the implementation of the Waigani and Basel conventions, the POPs in PICs project has also contributed to the implementation of the Stockholm convention in the region by minimising the harm caused by pops and the phasing out of their use.
		Additionally much has been accomplished in conjunction with the Basel convention, due in no small measure to the ability of the Waigani convention, to draw on the experiences of the latter convention since it practically mirrors the Basel convention.

	National Interest Analysis - Waigani Convention- NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Site not responding. Last check: )
		New Zealand was involved in all stages of the negotiating process, and was one of the original signatories when the Waigani Convention was opened for signature in September 1995.
		With respect to hazardous waste, the Waigani Convention largely mirrors the obligations set out in the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, 1989 (the Basel Convention).
		Ratification of Waigani would have financial implications for New Zealand once it entered into force, that is, once the requisite ten parties had ratified.

		The price sought for the Waigani land dropped from K15 million to K10 million to K8 million in a short space of time and after the initial attempts in October 1998 had come to nothing there was clearly heavy pressure in January through March 1999 to conclude a sale.
		It is also important that one of the clear reasons the involvement of institutions in the Waigani land came to an end was the firm intervention of Prime Minister Skate in forbidding their involvement in April 1999.
		In view of the suspicions raised by the Finance Inspectors Report about the proposed Waigani land purchase and the irregularities which have been exposed there was clearly a need to trace where the sales proceeds went and to ascertain whether any improper benefits were received.

		The Waigani Convention is also different to Basel in that it covers radioactive wastes and extends to the Economic Exclusion Zone (200 nautical miles) rather than the territorial sea (12 nautical miles) under Basel.
