Ecocidemassive damage to the environment and the international criminal system /[electronic resource] :by Djalma Alvarez Brochado Neto. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xxiv, 290 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1 Introduction -- 2 Massive Environmental Damages in the World -- 3 Climate Litigation and International Law -- 4 Development of the Notion of Ecocide -- 5 Ecocide in National Legislations -- 6 The Bills on Ecocide -- 7 The Path of Ecocide as an International Crime -- 8 Jurisdiction and Sovereignty -- 9 Conclusion.

This book offers a thorough exploration of the evolving concept of ecocide within the realm of international criminal law. Authored by Djalma Brochado, it addresses the urgent need to recognize and criminalize severe environmental destruction as an international crime. The book tackles critical issues such as the challenges in defining ecocide, the historical development of the term, and its global legal implications. Readers will find an in-depth analysis of various legal approaches to ecocide across different jurisdictions, highlighting the diverse interpretations and enforcement mechanisms that have emerged. Brochado also examines the current gaps in international law that hinder the effective prosecution of environmental crimes and proposes frameworks for establishing ecocide as a recognized crime under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Additionally, the book evaluates real cases of large-scale environmental destruction, whether labeled as ecocide or not, that could serve as precedents for criminalization under international law. This analysis provides practical insights into how existing and future legal frameworks could be applied to address such crimes. One of the key strengths of this book is its detailed examination of existing penal codes around the world that incorporate ecocidal behavior, offering comparative insights and shedding light on potential legal models for global adoption. Brochado's work is particularly valuable for legal scholars, policymakers, and environmental advocates interested in the intersection of environmental protection and international criminal justice. The book not only provides a legal analysis but also engages in a broader discussion on the ethical and moral imperatives for protecting the planet, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand and influence the future of environmental law.
