An event sponsored by the American Bar Association, International Law Section.
July 2, 2025 12PM EDT.
This webinar will examine a significant gap in the subject matter jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC): its inability to investigate and prosecute individuals who knowingly cause widespread or long-term environmental damage. The program will explore ongoing efforts by civil society to amend the Rome Statute to address this deficiency, including proposals to recognize ecocide as an international crime. Topics will include developments in international environmental criminal law, corporate and state liability, and the integration of ecocide into existing legal frameworks.
This webinar will be of particular interest to lawyers practicing in environmental, criminal, and human rights law, as well as to anyone concerned with the advancement of international legal tools to confront climate change and protect the environment.
