Why End Ecocide?
WHY WE NEED ECOCIDE LAW
We have an ecological crisis.
Humans are systemically destroying ecosystems in the world.
This is legal – and the global economic system is based on continued destruction.
We must stop this.
When large-scale environmental destruction, ecocide, is made an international crime, then we get a new framework for human activities within the boundaries of the laws of Nature.
This opens up new fields of possibility where everyone will have equal opportunities to be creative within the limits of natural condition.
WHAT WE DO
End Ecocide Sweden co-operate on an international level with various spokespersons, organizations and environmental law advocates.

What is ecocide?
ECOCIDE is defined as:
the extensive damage to, destruction of or loss of ecosystem(s) of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes, to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that territory has been severely diminished.
We want
- Ecocide to become an international crime
the extensive damage, destruction or loss of an ecosystem, ecocide, to become an international crime at the International Criminal Court as a part of the Rome Statute.
- Sweden to assume initiative
Sweden is one of the members of the Rome Statute. Any of the member states may propose an amendment, that must be approved by at least two thirds of the member states to take effect.
- Sweden to co-operate with other countries
Vanuatu and the Maldives are two countries that recently have brought to attention the possibility that the International Criminal Court may prosecute for ecocide. When one of these countries makes a formal proposal of an amendment, then Sweden may support such a proposal.
