Ecocide refers to the massive damage and destruction of ecosystems as a result of human activities in full awareness of the risks. In other words, it is the damage to the natural environment in the oceans and on land that is severe, widespread or systematic and that severely affects the peaceful use of certain territories by human, animal and plant beings. Ecocide must be internationally recognised as a crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Die vier Teilbereiche des \u00d6kozids” module_id=”teilbereiche” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Ecocide has created the ecological and climatic emergency we now face.

A major threat to marine life comes from industrial fishing<\/a>. The oceans are overfished, marine habitats are destroyed by bottom trawls and millions of marine animals are killed as bycatch.

If global warming alone continues without any mitigation, it could lead to the extinction of more than two thirds of marine species. The global environmental problems are the result of decades of destructive industrial activities. Corporate leaders have long been aware of the environmental risks. It is about time that industry, investors and governments take responsibility for their ecocidal actions and decisions. The environmental laws and penalties that have been in place until now are not effective in halting the ongoing destruction of the environment. An international judiciary anchoring of ecocide as an international crime could change this. This would make it possible to prosecute those responsible (through their actions or decisions) for serious environmental damage.<\/p>\n The task of the International Criminal Court (ICC<\/a>) in The Hague, which has been in place since 2003, is to prevent and punish the most serious crimes affecting the international community as a whole. The ICC lists the following four crimes up to now:<\/p>\n Ecocide as serious damage to the natural living environment that severely impairs the use of certain territories and thus also endangers peace, among other things, should be listed as the fifth item and thus be considered a serious international crime.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Die Rolle der Schweiz” module_id=”schweiz” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n KYMA is campaigning for Switzerland, as one of the 123 states that have ratified the Rome Statute<\/a> as the legal basis of the ICC, to support the listing of ecocide as a fifth crime and to vote for ratification at the ICC’s annual assembly.<\/p>\n An ecocide law would hold companies accountable and make them, as well as investors, refrain from environmentally harmful practices.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0D406E” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kyma-sea.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Oekozid_Uebersichtsseite.jpg” title_text=”\u00a9 Unsplash” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||28px|false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”CTA Titel” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” header_3_text_color=”#ffffff” header_3_font_size=”26px” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”CTA Text” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”f99fe097-e81b-4660-aa8c-2ad7a1ab29bd” text_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”|45px|||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n KYMA sea conservation & research is committed to ensuring that ecocide is recognised and discussed by a broad public.
