International Rights of Nature Tribunal

EUROPEAN TRIBUNAL «RIGHTS OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS»

 

The The European Hub of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature is launching the  «RIGHTS OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS» Tribunal to provide a systemic solution, recognizing the rights of ecosystems to exist and to be maintained as part of their intrinsic value, and allowing these rights to be claimed in court. 

Five critical aquatic ecosystem cases on the sidelines of the IUCN Congress being held in January 2021: Balkan Rivers, French Guiana, the Mer de Glace glacier, red muds in Marseille, and the Vättern Lake Case. 

 

UICN INTRO

In January 2021, the World Congress of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will be held in Marseille gathering participants from all over the world representing governments and the most influential organizations on nature conservation. This forum offers a unique opportunity to highlight Rights of Nature as a solution for biodiversity conservation, and to participate in international decision making. 

 

TRIBUNAL INTRO

 

The current ecological crisis requires us to transform our international and domestic legal systems to nurture the Earth Community, rather than allow its destruction.

The International Rights of Nature Tribunal is a unique, citizen-created initiative that gives people from all around the world the opportunity to testify publicly as to the destruction of the Earth—destruction that governments and corporations not only allow, but in some cases encourage. 

 

An esteemed panel of international Tribunal judges will then make recommendations for Earth’s protection and restoration.The Tribunal provides a systemic alternative to environmental protection, acknowledging that ecosystems have the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate their vital cycles, with legal standing in a court of law.

 

Article 

 

The current ecological crisis requires that we transform our international and domestic legal systems to nurture the Earth Community, rather than allow its destruction. 

 

The International Rights of Nature Tribunal is a unique, citizen-led initiative that gives people from all around the world the opportunity to testify publicly as to the destruction of the Earth—destruction that governments and corporations not only allow, but in some cases encourage.

 

An esteemed panel of international Tribunal judges will then make recommendations for Earth’s protection and restoration, based on the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. Among other things, the Declaration binds us to respect the integrity of the vital ecological processes of the Earth and helps advance proposed amendments to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court to recognize the crime of Ecocide

 

The Tribunal provides a systemic alternative to environmental protection, acknowledging that ecosystems have the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate their vital cycles, with legal standing in a court of law.
