June 9 2009 - It is the proposal of Nobel Peace Prize in 1980, the Argentinean Adolfo Perez Esquivel, who through the 'International Academy of Environmental Sciences (IAES), which he chairs, has launched in recent days in Rome, the international campaign to collect signatures "Justice for Planet ", an initiative to support the creation of a European criminal court and international environmental havoc against the environmental equivalent to crimes against humanity (to participate in the petition, click here).

The IAES, to which belong many Nobel laureates, lawyers, environmentalists and personalities of the political world as the Dalai Lama, has been fighting for years for the establishment of an international body charged with punishing crimes against the environment, and as in the case of the nuclear accident of Chernobyl become crimes against humanity.

From these meetings led to two important political-programmatic documents (the Charter of Venice in 2003 and the Charter of Venice 2006), which laid the foundation of 'International Environmental Criminal Court (IECC) and the' European Environmental Criminal Court (EECC) as institutions called upon to punish ecocrimini based on the European principle that the polluter should pay.

The proposal is to amend the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in The Hague so as to insert the environmental disaster between intentional crimes against humanity. In this way, the offense will fall within the competence of the International Tribunal of The Hague, who will judge which of the Environment International Criminal Court (IECC).

Meanwhile, the IAES is promoting as a step towards this important goal, the rapid creation of a Criminal Court, the European Environment Agency (EECC), then using the support of the European Union to bring the issue through awareness campaigns dell ' public opinion and governments in the UN.

An important date in this direction will be the International Forum on 2 and 3 October in Venice always entitled "The health of the planet Earth and of Man. Disasters, environmental protection and irresponsibility, "which will take place in the prestigious setting of the Palazzo Ducale and Villa Herion (Giudecca) where you set up a laboratory historical-legal-scientific manage a database on disasters that occurred in the last 40 years in every part of globe and provide support to the two criminal courts future.

I would typically not post something like this, but with our current Legislative and Executive Branches, this sounds exactly like something that they would LOVE to attach themselves to.

This is something that bears observation.
