Make ecosystem destruction an international criminal law: amend the Rome Statute

Closed 2,012 signatures

What the petition asks

It is our collective duty of care to solve palm oil destruction by enacting an ecocide law, ending state-sanctioned industrial immunity and corporate impunity. Amend the Rome Statute (not a whole new treaty), the governing document of existing international crimes and Criminal Court (ICC).
It’s possible: any member nation State to the International Criminal Court, no matter how small, can propose the amendment. Once tabled, it cannot be vetoed.
