Abstract
“Smoke haze” is a transboundary pollution
problem which severely affected the Southeast Asian region during its most
devastating occurrence in 1997-1998. As a response, the ASEAN implemented its Regional Haze Action Plan in 1997 backed
up by a legal framework called ASEAN
Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution which took effect in 2003. Looking
back, this paper will attempt to explain the regulatory ability of the ASEAN to
solve the problem by investigating the compliance of four countries (i.e.,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines) with the regional
anti-haze pollution measures, and their implementation of domestic laws to stop
forest fires.
