Latin America shows why ecocide must be an international crime

Written By Sparrow Park

“The Escazú Agreement complements [ecocide] law by providing environmental defenders with the tools needed to advocate for the protection of their rights and the environment. Together, these mechanisms contribute to a legal framework that protects the environment, and its defenders, and draws a moral red line beyond which actions that damage the planet are deemed unacceptable.”
