Backlight: The Earth's Lawyer

By Kees Brouwer

Our world recognizes 4 international crimes: war crimes, genocide, torture and crimes against humanity. The Spanish examining magistrate Baltasar Garzón and the Scottish lawyer Polly Higgins believe that these violations of international law should be supplemented by a fifth: ecocide. Will Higgins and Garzón succeed in getting ecocide recognized, putting the destruction of our ecosystems at the top of the international political agenda once and for all?
