Abstract

The Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping Wastes and other Matter, known as the London Dumping Convention (LDC), is a major global instrument that seeks to address the problem of marine pollution, by regulating the disposal of waste at sea from ships, aircrafts and other man-made structures. The LDC was opened for signature in November 1972 and has at present 69 countries as contracting parties. The fifteenth annual consultative meeting of the LDC (LDC15) is being held in London from 9 to 13 November 1992. Taking place in the aftermath of Earth Summit convened by the United Nations Conference on Environment and. Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, LDC15 is expected to make an effective response to the problems of marine environment.
