Making Ecocide a Crime with Sue Miller šŸŒ±āš–


Listen Later

Stop Ecocide Internationalā€˜s goal is to create a new

international Crime of Ecocide (long-standing, wide-sclae, severe damage to the
environment)

within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court

where it would sit alongside the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity,
war crimes and crimes of aggression as one of the ā€œcrimes against peaceā€, which
are those crimes which are considered to be most serious by humankind.


Sue Miller is Head of global networks where her distinctive

role is to help seed and socialize the concept of ā€œEcocideā€ in as many communities as possible.


Sue explains that when people are introduced to the term

ā€œEcocideā€ and its meaning they can’t believe that this doesn’t exist anyway –
that there is no law that protects earth from large scale damage already.


So why do crimes against earth, which at the end affect

every single one of us, take much more hard work and push to be acknowledged as the crimes they are?


Perhaps the lack of political will and the assumption that

environmental protection will somehow detract from people’s lives?

Ā 

You will also find out what happens once countries decide to

include Ecocide into their legislature and rules of law.


Let us imagine the changes and shifts that would be

happening in a world/economies/societies where crimes against Earth are
recognized, tried in courts of law and made an ARRESTABLE offense…


While you will never be able to bring round all companies it

is hopeful to hear that more and more are realizing that business as usual is
not an option anymore – change seems to be happening.

We hope you enjoy this Talk ā˜€šŸŒŠšŸŒ

which came alive through the voices of

Sue Miller
