This again? It’s just so 2010
The International Criminal Court should add “ecocide” to its brief alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes to criminalise the side effects of farming, fishing and energy production, a green activist argued during the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
Greta Thunberg ally and CEO of Stop Ecocide International Jojo Mehta demanded during a WEF Davos panel dubbed “Where Nature Meets Conflict” on Tuesday that a new international criminal category of “ecocide” to prevent the “mass damage and destruction of nature”.
Mehta, who co-founded Stop Ecocide in 2017 alongside the late green legal activist Polly Higgins, said at the globalist World Economic Forum meeting: “What our organisation and other collaborators aim to do is to have this recognised legally as a serious crime because one of the issues that pervades this discussion is that we have a culturally engrained habit of not taking damage to nature as seriously as we take damage to people and property.”
While proponents of the legislation have often pointed to disasters such as oil spills and nuclear meltdowns, Mehta suggested that ecocide could be extended to include necessary functions of humanity such as agriculture and energy production.
As I wrote back in 2010
You know, it’s funny how those one the Left around the world, who tend to be, of course, the primary believers in this mule fritters “science,” always yammer on about human rights and free speech and speaking their minds and “power to the people,” etc and so on, yet, at the end of the day, they are always the first ones to call for gagging people at the point of a legal ruling. Unless you follow the strict doctrines of their liberal/progressive tenets, they expect you to just STFU and STFD (sit the f*** down). Hopefully, in a jail cell.
They’re always quick to go the Fascist route: toe the line or go to jail. But, hey, if Mehta wants this, let’s start with all the folks in Davos who flew in on fossil fueled private jets. Then those who took commercial. And then those who drove there in fossil fueled vehicles. And Jojo, who lives in England, and you know damned well she didn’t walk or bike or something.
BTW, Polly Higgins, mention in the article, was the person who originated this wacktard idea of ecocide, as mentioned in my 2010 post.
