International Criminal Court Expands Jurisdiction Over Environmental Crimes

International Criminal Court Expands Jurisdiction Over Environmental Crimes

The International Criminal Court has expanded its mandate to include prosecution of large-scale environmental destruction as a crime against humanity. The decision was driven by cases of deliberate ecosystem destruction during armed conflicts. Legal experts say the ruling sets an important precedent. Enforcement will require cooperation from national governments, some of which have expressed reservations.
