Ecocide Law
Ecocide Law is an online resource hub providing information about ecocide, which they define as “unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.” The site, administered by Stop Ecocide International, collects existing ecocide laws, relevant research, and relevant media, with the goal of informing future ecocide laws and contributing to the development of a new international crime of ecocide.
