10th International Symposium of World Centre for Humanist Studies. 'Utopias in progress: Pathways to the Universal Human Nation'

12:30-13:25 GMT (14:30h España / 9:30h Argentina)

On Saturday 10th, Maite Mompó, Director of Stop Ecocide in Spanish, will give a lecture entitled ‘The creation of the international crime of ecocide, a utopia?’, which is part of the thematic block on ‘Social ecology, economy, ecological and climate crisis’ of the 10th International Symposium of the World Centre for Humanist Studies, which will take place from 8 to 11 May under the title 'Utopias in Progress. Pathways to the Universal Human Nation'.

The aim of this symposium is to reveal the structure of the great personal and social crisis that we are currently experiencing, a crisis that is causing profound unease among individuals and peoples, and which has its origins in the economic-social system in place at the global level. The block on "Social ecology, economy, ecological and climate crisis" will include fourteen lectures and a discussion panel that will show the advances developed from different initiatives to overcome the crisis situation and open the way to the so-called Universal Human Nation.

The paper analyses how the idea of establishing ethical and legal responsibility for serious damage to Nature began as a utopia and, little by little, is being accepted by global society and is closer to becoming a reality.
