Dutch Party for the Animals proposal to Parliament outlining need for international legislation on Ecocide


This week Dutch Party for the Animals, which holds 4 seats, submitted its initiative proposal to Dutch Parliament outlining the need for international legislation on Ecocide.

Dutch Parliamentarian Lammert van Raan said: “we call on Parliament to take 10 actions, ranging from submitting an amendment to add ecocide as a crime to the Statute of Rome to investigating the role of the Netherlands in waylaying such an effort in the past.

We are going to make it available in several languages so other countries can use it as well.”

The proposal will be discussed in the first half of 2021 in Dutch Parliament and can be downloaded here
