Support making ECOCIDE an international crime

We call on all governments to declare support for making ecocide an international crime, in the knowledge that many countries must stand together to put this law in place for the long-term protection of all life on Earth.

About Support making ECOCIDE an international crime

Mass damage and destruction of ecosystems (ECOCIDE), committed repeatedly over decades and permitted by law, has led to global climate and ecological crisis. Treaties, agreements and civil lawsuits have all failed to prevent this. It is time to change the rules Amending the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court to include ECOCIDE as a CRIME - alongside genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity – can provide a simple, effective deterrent for those in positions of responsibility, enforceable within existing criminal justice systems. Why your support is crucial As this petition grows, it will be used periodically to demonstrate to governments the level of civil support building both internationally and within their own nations. The petition will therefore remain open for signatures, gathering momentum as more and more governments declare their support. The more signatures we have, the more pressure we create, and the sooner ecocide will become an international crime. Your support is crucial, so please sign today and share this link www.stopecocide.earth/become. Thank you!
