The purpose of this webinar - the first in a series of 3 being produced in collaboration with Stop Ecocide Canada - is to educate and raise awareness on using international law, and specifically a crime of ecocide, to uphold Indigenous rights and environmental protection.
We will focus on the legal assessment of how an international law of ecocide would benefit Indigenous governance and sovereignty.
The shared vision for this series is to provide a space for Indigenous and non-Indigenous legal scholars and activists to unpack the potential (and the pitfalls) of this emerging instrument, an international crime of ecocide.
