The scourge of plastic pollution is a defining problem of the Anthropocene epoch
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations - whether or not they are UN members - should adhere to its norms. The solution to environmental pollution can be found in the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law priority over domestic law, with direct bearing on the people. In addition, citizens should be able to monitor government operations to ensure compliance with the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .
