Waste Crime – Waste Risks: Gaps in Meeting the Global Waste Challenge
More than ever, our future depends upon how we manage the future of our waste. As an integrated part of sustainable development, effective waste management can reduce our global footprint. Ignoring or neglecting the challenges of waste, however, can lead to significant health, environmental and economic consequences.
A staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food is produced each year to feed the world’s 7 billion people. Yet, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), around US$1 trillion of that food goes to waste. With 200,000 new peoplWaste covers a very wide spectrum of discarded materials ranging from municipal, electrical and electronic, industrial and agricultural, to new types including counterfeit pesticides. It also includes anything in size and scale from decommissioned ships, oil or liquid wastes, hundreds of millions of mobile phones to billions of used car tires.
__Recommendations__
- Strengthen awareness, monitoring and information
- Strengthen national legislation and enforcement capacities

Systems approach to documentary maritime fraud
Wring the last decade documentary maritime fraud has
caused considerable financial loss. The internationality of the
crime and the difficulties experienced in the investigation and
prosecution of offenders has caused serious concern both
nationally and internationally.
The aim of this research was to examine the system of
international trade in terms of flow between institutions,
and to develop a model of the system to identify areas of
system failures in terms of actual or potential frauds.
A database consisting of 101 fraud cases was compiled. Detailed
examination of the cases identified features common to different
classes of fraud. Systems approach was used to investigate the
system with particular reference to Bills of Lading and method
of payment under documentary credits. Conceptual mcdels of the
three main contractual sub-systems i. e. carriage, insurance and
payment, and of the total system were developed. The latter was
used in conjunction with the database to pin-point the weak
links both within the system and its imiediate envirormLent.
Using a rwlti-disciplinary international Panel of Experts the
Delphi technique, appropriately modified, was employed to test
the hypothesised weak links, determine feasibility of
implementing the recoamndations and seek information to assist
in introducing measures to combat fraud.
The analysis supports the hypothesised weak links identified in
the environment and reccmuendations to strengthen them. Factors
creating an environment for fraud are identified, along with
reasons for not reporting the crime. Information required to
combat fraud is identified. Prior to payment under documentary
credits banks should carry out factual checks. The Bill of
Lading is not a weak link but the people handling the document
are unaware of its importance.
Establishmnt of a Conmrcial Crim Research Unit specialising
in international trade is recamrended, as is the development of
an educational prograrmTo to increase conmercial awareness
