My beloved friend #PollyHiggins (1968-2019) spent her last 10 years advocating for an international crime of #ECOCIDE. Today’s her birthday, & 20 yrs after opening its doors, the ICC is at last seriously discussing ecocide. Happy Birthday Polly. Remembering you with love.💚

The @IntlCrimCourt celebrated its 20th anniversary today with a one-day conference in The Hague. The final session of the day, focusing on the future of the court, prominently featured discussion of #ecocide as a possible 5th #RomeStatute crime. Read more: https://t.co/HyT8RjRoxf

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay, days after the #Stockholm50 conference and 50 years since the 1972 conference, where then Swedish prime minister Olof Palme first used the term #ecocide on an international stage. Let's make ecocide an international crime. https://t.co/FtmGdqmXxL
