Further research on the effectiveness of these laws is being carried out by lawyers within the International Senior Lawyers Project UK.
Although there are Ecocide laws in place, the effectiveness of these laws depends on a number of factors including the enforcement of the law, an independent judiciary and respect for the rule of law. Many of the countries with national Ecocide laws in place are ranked very highly for corruption and low for respect for the rule of law by Transparency International.

Excellent article Posted by John | May 2, 2014, 11:03 pm Reply to this comment	Reblogged this on RisingAnima and commented:
We are part of Nature, how can we manage Human Rights, without recognizing and respecting Nature´s Rights? Exploiting Nature we are exploiting ourselves also. We only can bring sustainability to practice if we accept Human beings as part of the Whole, instead of separating us from Nature, with this arrogant sense of superiority that allows the Humanity to be unnatural and destructive. Looking to the panorama, are we that good and superior? Do you think we are brighter than Nature? I see that the brightness comes from a symbiosis, and we must stop acting like parasites.”…The ones destroying Nature, are teaching us how to live.”- Domingo Ankuash, Shuar leader-Ecuador in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lrXKYJLJu4&app=desktop Posted by cucu.an.luzia | November 14, 2014, 7:01 pm Reply to this comment	Leave a Reply Cancel reply	Enter your comment here...
