Ecocide - historic context, facts, examples and outlook

In order to be able to talk about the application of the legal definition of ecocide at the international level, first a historical background is necessary. Subsequently, both the objective and subjective elements of the crime will be critically examined and the working methods of the judges and the prosecution of the ICC will be presented. Concrete examples and their classification as potential ecocide form the third part of the presentation, and to round things off, references will be made to the situation in Ukraine and a brief conclusion will be drawn.
