Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they support the addition of the crime of ecocide to the treaty governing the International Criminal Court.
This question was answered on 23rd June 2021
The International Criminal Court can play an important role in global efforts to end impunity for the most serious crimes of international concern, by holding perpetrators to account and achieving justice for victims. However, there are currently no plans to amend the Rome Statute to include ecocide.
