22nd Session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute
Official Side Event | Monday 11th December, 13:15 - 14:30, New York

As discussion develops around inclusion of “ecocide” under the remit of the Rome Statute, this panel examines the relevance of the 2021 Independent Expert Panel definition to contexts where severe environmental damage is being suffered in different ways: small island states, states involved in armed conflict, indigenous territories and the ocean.
