At first glance, I think this is good, and I know it's been heavily refined in the GTT. 
One clarification I think should be made, assuming I'm reading the clause right:
Quote: 6b) impose economic and compensatory damages on any entity whose waste disposal practices are deemed to have a direct impact on other member nations, and promptly transfer collected damages to affected nations;
c) impose, at their discretion, punitive damages or criminal charges against entities guilty of such misconduct;[/quote]
this should specify domestic entities, assuming I'm understanding the definition of entity correctly (ie a public or private firm charged with waste disposal).
