Draft law is intended to prosecute offences against the environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As per a recent article in the Gaurdian, Legal experts from across the globe have drawn up a \u201chistoric\u201d definition of ecocide, intended to be adopted by the international criminal court to prosecute the most egregious offences against the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft law, unveiled on Tuesday, defines ecocide as \u201cunlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stop Ecocide Foundation initiative comes amid concerns that not enough is being done to tackle the climate<\/a> and ecological crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If adopted by the ICC\u2019s members, it would become just the fifth offence the court prosecutes \u2013 alongside war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression \u2013 and the first new international crime since the 1940s when Nazi leaders were prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials<\/a>.Ecocide must be listed alongside genocide as an international crimeRead more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof Philippe Sands QC, of University College London, who co-chaired the panel that spent the past six months hammering out the definition, said: \u201cThe four other crimes all focus exclusively on the wellbeing of human beings. This one of course does that but it introduces a new non-anthropocentric approach, namely putting the environment at the heart of international law, and so that is original and innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
