Stop Ecocide International‘s goal is to create a new
international Crime of Ecocide (long-standing, wide-sclae, severe damage to the
environment)

within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court
where it would sit alongside the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity,
war crimes and crimes of aggression as one of the “crimes against peace”, which
are those crimes which are considered to be most serious by humankind.

Sue Miller is Head of global networks where her distinctive
role is to help seed and socialize the concept of “Ecocide” in as many communities as possible.

Sue explains that when people are introduced to the term
“Ecocide” and its meaning they can’t believe that this doesn’t exist anyway –
that there is no law that protects earth from large scale damage already.

So why do crimes against earth, which at the end affect
every single one of us, take much more hard work and push to be acknowledged as the crimes they are?

Perhaps the lack of political will and the assumption that
environmental protection will somehow detract from people’s lives?

You will also find out what happens once countries decide to
include Ecocide into their legislature and rules of law.

Let us imagine the changes and shifts that would be
happening in a world/economies/societies where crimes against Earth are
recognized, tried in courts of law and made an ARRESTABLE offense…

While you will never be able to bring round all companies it
is hopeful to hear that more and more are realizing that business as usual is
not an option anymore – change seems to be happening.
