In and Around War(s): Season 3, Episode 2: The Prosecution of Ecocide and Other Environmental Crimes

The latest episode of our 'In and Around War(s)' podcast follows on from the IHL Talk 'The Prosecution of Ecocide and Other Environmental Crimes: State of the Law and Way(s) Forward' which took place in April. In the episode our Research Fellow, Eugénie Duss, speaks to Jelena Aparac, from UN SWTP, and Stavros-Evdokimos Pantazopoulos, from of the Erik Castrén Institute at the University of Helsinki. The discussion covers the recent and ongoing proceedings addressing climate change outside the criminal framework, focusing in particular on the case of Verein Klimaseniorinnen Schweiz and others v. Switzerland. It also covers the request for an advisory opinion on climate change before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and also the worrying tendency of the investor-state dispute settlement system to award large compensations to investors against states that adopt stricter environmental and climate change measures.
