From Ecocrimes to Ecocide
FROM ECOCRIMES TO ECOCIDE PROTECTIN THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH CRIMINAL LAW Under the supervision of Professor Laurent NEYRET 1 Foreword LAURENT NEYRET Law Professor at the Université de Versailles – Paris Saclay Professor at SciencesPo Paris The idea to initiate a collaborative research dedicated to the protection of the environment through criminal law has arisen after giving serious thoughts to the transformation of the concept of crime against humanity in the environmental field, which resulted in a proposal for a new international crime: the crime of ecocide. The analysis of the desirability and feasibility of establishing such a crime at the international level involved working more broadly on the protection of the environment through criminal law. Indeed, if the crime of ecocide were to be included in the category of the most serious crimes, this involved the determination of its specific features compared to those of the other environmental crimes. Such an endeavour required the bringing together of a number of specialists from various disciplines, including criminal law, environmental law, international law, as well as human rights law and comparative law. The team of sixteen jurists - scholars, lawyers, judges - of six different nationalities, worked for three years independently to put forward proposals for setting up a graduated and effective system of protection of the environment through criminal law. The initial goal was to make a diagnosis of the level of protection of the environment under the existing criminal law, both under domestic and international law. To do this, the research group has benefited from the valuable work of students of the Clinique du droit de Sciences Po (Law Clinic of Sciences Po) headed up by Manon Garin who undertook an inventory of texts and scholarly writings concerning the fight against environmental crime in all legal systems1. -

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

INTRODUCTION The problem of climate change has captured the attention of scholars and advocates from diverse academic disciplines that would ordinarily have little in common.1 Part of the reason for this is the sheer magnitude of the problem.2 According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there is evidence that current climate change patterns will produce “irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system.”3 Among many Professor of Law, University of Illinois College of Law. For helpful comments and conversations, I am grateful to Charlotte Ku, Shirley Scott, and Verity Winship. 1 The scholarly literature on climate change is enormous and growing, and a thorough review is beyond the scope of this Article. For a useful assemblage of the ways that scholars have studied climate change, see generally OXFORD HANDBOOK OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SOCIETY 3 (John S.
