Climate change-affected Pacific Islanders have taken the issue of ecocide to the international arena.
Whilst ecocide is recognised as extremely harmful to nature/habitat/sentient beings its legal status should be ratified by the Rome statute which has the power to recommend the same to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Thus, governments, companies, etc. could face severe legal consequences.
Could it be argued that over 200 hectares of demolition (by NSW Forestry) of the Great Koala Park (now a ‘moonscape’) approved by the Minns government is heading to severe legal ramifications surrounding ecocide? The legal contradictions already abound.
Koalas now face extinction. The actual above habitat is also ‘home’ to many endangered species. For further information check out ABC RN 6am to 9am Friday 20/9/24. Dr Maloney interview. There are many forms of ecocide… there is legal hope on this issue. Call out ecocide.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
