Conference held on 22 April, 2021
Organised by Stop Ecocide Canada and the Stop Ecocide Foundation, along with the Canadian Partnership for International Justice, the Canada Research Chair on International Criminal Justice and Human Rights, the International Criminal and Humanitarian Law Clinic, and Université Laval’s Faculty of Law.
Did you know? Support for recognition of an international crime of “Ecocide” – or mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – has been steadily gaining traction at a global level.
By June 2021, an expert panel of international lawyers, convened by the Stop Ecocide Foundation, will have developed a definition of ecocide as a crime that could be enshrined in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression.
On Earth Day, we gathered our panelists to create an initial space for exchange, between academics and practitioners from different disciplines in Canada, on the potential contribution of an international crime of ecocide to long-term ecosystem protection efforts. Our speakers are:
-Lisa Oldring, Co-Chair of the event, Law and Policy Advisor, Stop Ecocide Canada
-Fannie Lafontaine, Co-Chair of the event, Full Professor, Faculty of Law, Université Laval
-Jojo Mehta, Co-founder and Executive Director, Stop Ecocide International;
-Darryl Robinson, Full Professor, Faculty of Law, Queen’s University;
-Géraud De Lassus Saint-Geniès, Assistant Professor, Faculté de droit, Université Laval.
