Make mass damage and destruction of Nature a crime
Make mass damage and destruction of Nature a crime
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.

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.
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.
Ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court in the Hague is increasingly discussed as a necessary development of international law. How would it help the Convention on Biodiversity to reach its targets and vision of living in harmony with Nature by 2050?
