Pacific Islands Propose Court Recognition of Ecocide as a Crime to ICC
Sep 10, 2024, 01:37 AM
Pacific island nations have submitted a court proposal to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to recognize ecocide as a crime. This move aims to hold individuals and entities accountable for severe environmental destruction. However, it is noted that the process could take up to a decade before any charges are brought, even if the ICC adopts the changes. The scope of the ICC is also limited, as major emitters like the US, China, India, and Russia are not parties to it.
