Ecocide must be included as a 5th international crime on the Rome Statute of the Internat. Criminal Court

The new proposal by EU Justice Commiss. @dreynders and EU Environment Commiss. @VSinkevicius includes a list of environmental crime offenses, but ecocide is not included.

The peaceful action of civil disobedience comes just days before EU leaders meet in Brussels. The European Parliament has repeatedly expressed support for an #ecocide law.

Ecocide is a criminal offence and the perpetrators must go to prison. Today is a historic opportunity for the recognition of the crime of ecocide at the EU level.

Statement by a @XR_Belgium rebel ⬇️

@MieuletCleo @XR_Belgium In the meantime, 20 people were arrested by the police and their personal details taken.
All of them are now free again. This pan-European action is over, but it has led to new contacts and cooperation.
