Minister: No regional mechanism to claim compensation for cross-border haze
Original: 火
A minister said there is currently no regional claims mechanism for cross-border haze, and that the polluter pays principle remains only a guideline for individual countries to implement on their own. The remarks highlight the persistent difficulty of holding those responsible for transboundary smoke pollution accountable, leaving affected countries to rely on domestic measures rather than regional enforcement.
Why now: Cross-border haze is a recurring seasonal concern in Southeast Asia, and the lack of a compensation mechanism is a long-standing point of public frustration.
