Belgian environment committee urges government to use new ecocide definition

The Ecolo-Groen group submits a resolution to the Belgian parliament’s Foreign Affairs committee urging the government to actively support the criminalisation of ecocide - both at the International Criminal Court and under Belgian law. 

The resolution acknowledges the recently launched legal definition of ecocide and suggests the government takes up the definition.  It is expected to be discussed in the committee when parliament reconvenes after the summer.
