You are cordially invited to attend this official virtual side event by Socialist International Women and the Stop Ecocide Foundation

Wednesday 18th May

13:10 CEST (Vienna) - online event

at the CCPCJ - Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, 16th - 20th May 2022

The Earth is experiencing massive environmental damage which is exacerbating the climate crisis and threatening lives, livelihoods and biodiversity.  Some of this destruction falls under existing environmental crimes, but much is “collateral damage” on a large scale caused by corporations in pursuit of profit. Legal sanctions are under-enforced and usually lead to fines or damages; these are treated as a cost of doing business.  An international crime of ecocide could criminalise “unlawful or wanton” acts threatening the most severe environmental harms, thus strengthening and underpinning existing regulatory measures being undertaken globally to protect the environment.  

This session will look at the progress of this legal initiative and how it can deter reckless destruction, acting as a guide rail to foster healthier and more sustainable practices.

We would love you to join us!

Zoom link will be shared prior to the event with those who register here:
