The Subcommittee on the General Framework for Human, Environmental & Natural Rights of the Constitutional Convention held discussions on ecocide, resulting in a favourable vote (10 votes in favor, 1 against, 2 abstentions) for an annex to be added to the new Chilean constitution.

The first draft of the annex is available in Spanish here.
(Unofficial English translation)

We will be keeping a close eye on developments.
