Members of the parliamentary #EcocideAlliance & #ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (@ASEANMP) issued a statement on environmental crimes in #Ukraine, describing some of the attacks as likely to cause “widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment”.
“Now, if ever, would be the time for the international community to finally draw a global moral red line concerning environmental atrocities, and put an end to impunity for #ecocide” writes the #EcocideAlliance regarding the #invasion of Ukraine. pgaction.org/fr/news/enviro… #crimes
“The most effective way to enforce criminal accountability long-term is to amend the #RomeStatute to explicitly include ecocide as a 5th crime against #peace - not limited only to #war time.” pgaction.org/fr/news/enviro… #conflict #security #warcrimes #internationalcrimes #StopEcocide
