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 we must stop it.
When large-scale environmental destruction, ecocide, is made an international crime, 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.
End Ecocide Sweden raises the issue of ecocide law in the public discourse, maintain continuous dialogues with representatives for various political parties och within business. We cooperate closely with Stop Ecocide Foundation and have created the platforms Ecocide Law Alliance for business and Faith for Ecocide Law for faith communities.

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.
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 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.
