The first meeting of the International Advisory Panel on Transboundary Pollution (IAP-TP) was conducted this Thursday and Friday as Singapore gets prepared for the coming season of haze.
The panel comprises of eight international law experts, including co-chairs Professor S. Jayakumar and Professor Tommy Koh who met Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean on Friday. The Deputy Prime Minster after the meeting said, “Transboundary haze is a recurring problem which has affected our region and Singapore for decades. If haze re-occurs during the dry season in the next few months, it may be worsened by the higher probability of an El Nino weather pattern this year.”
“The IAP-TP has an important role to study and advise the Singapore Government on the possible options and practical steps available under international law that Singapore can take to resolve this issue. I look forward to receiving the IAP recommendations soon.” The advisory panel is expected to present a report to the government when its ready but no time frame was announced.
