Sustainable Development, Polluter pays principle law, Carrying capacityAbstract
The development of the ASEAN economy can be done through an attainment of simultaneous growth in economic, social and environment. In this regard, it is absolutely essential to employ environmental laws as one of driving forces. Therefore, this article aims to study the efficiency of the environmental laws for sustainable development in the ASEAN community. The study has illustrated that standardizing a regulatory process, standards and measures in the environmental quality control in ASEAN would be a great initiative to effectively manage the pollution in the region. By doing so, it can possibly help to solve cross-border pollution problems, resulting in sustainable development, especially Thailand, Myanmar and Laos are ASEAN member states with the least strict environmental laws compared to other states in ASEAN. Thus, the environmental laws addressing the quality control and treatment over deterioration based on precautionary principles, participation and Polluter pays principle, are needed to support in the integration of ASEAN member states.
