Mapping Ecocide

Description

Eco-cide derives from the Greek oikos meaninghouse or home and the Latin caedere meaning strike down, demolish, kill. It literally translates to killing our home. It is defined as the destruction of our natural environment due to extensive damage to, destruction of or loss of ecosystems of a given territory. It has been discussed since the 1970s as a potential international Crime Against Peace when it was, amongst others mentioned by the swedish Premier Olof Palme. He commented on the environmental damages caused by the use of Agent Orange by United States forces in Vietnam war. Nevertheless it was excluded from the Rome Statute, which is the fundament of the international criminal court in The Haague.
