AI summary Read the abstract
This paper analyzes the United States' rejection of UNEP resolution EA.3/RES.7, which sought international action on plastic pollution. It explores the political and economic motivations behind the US position and the implications for global plastic governance efforts.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakangi Penolakan Amerika Serikat terhadap Resolusi UNEP/EA.3/RES.7 Sampah Laut dan Mikroplastik. Pencemaran sampah plastik menjadi topik yang menarik untuk dibahas saat ini karena merupakan masalah besar bagi lingkungan dunia. Sebagai negara penghasil sampah plastik terbesar di dunia pada 2016, Amerika Serikat yang seharusnya mendukung resolusi tersebut malah menolaknya. Data yang diambil berupa data sekunder dan metode analisis data kualitatif yang digunakan. Hasil kajian yang dilakukan oleh Amerika Serikat menunjukkan beberapa faktor yang mendiskualifikasi yaitu Amerika Serikat telah memiliki peraturan nasional untuk pengelolaan sampah termasuk sampah plastik, dan juga memiliki industri plastik dalam negeri yang dilindungi karena jika penyelesaiannya diadopsi maka Amerika Serikat Negara-negara harus mengurangi produksi plastiknya dan Sebagai pengekspor limbah plastik AS terbesar di China pada tahun 2017, menerapkan kebijakan untuk tidak lagi menerima berbagai jenis limbah, sehingga menyulitkan AS untuk mengolah limbahnya.

AI summary Read the abstract
A review of international legal frameworks for marine plastic pollution finds current governance fragmented and inadequate, calling for a lifecycle-based international legal regime to address the full chain of plastic production, use, and disposal. Strengthening international law is essential for systemic microplastic reduction, as ocean connectivity means that plastic—and the microplastics it becomes—cannot be managed effectively by individual nations alone.
