From the International Court of Justice to the Criminal Court Accountability, Environmental Damage and Ecocide

Study day dedicated to two major developments in the protection of climate and the environment

This study day is dedicated to two major developments in the protection of climate and the environment:

The advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, clarifying the climate obligations of States;

Recent developments in environmental criminal law, including the introduction of the offence of “ecocide” in the new Belgian Criminal Code, as well as the increasing use of criminal law to address serious and cross-border environmental damage.

At the intersection of international law, climate and nature protection, this study day will provide insight into how these emerging standards are shaping the way we prevent and respond to environmental damage.

Registrations for in-person attendance at the study day are now fully booked.

Interested participants can now register to follow the event via live stream. They may also register on a waiting list and will be contacted should a place for in-person attendance become available.
