ABSTRACT
Human-made and natural environmental disasters all over the African continent are transboundary in nature. Despite these severe environmental problems, no supranational agencies in Africa are able to take on the task of regulating the pollution of the environment in the continent. To make things even worse, no international judicial systems on the African continent have the power to enforce any environmental laws or guarantee compliance. A more complicated dilemma is that environmental problems in the continent are typically generated by many sources from different nations and have to be taken care of by voluntary agreements among African political leaders (Weatherby et al., 2009; ; Wright and Boorse, 2014).
