- Abstract
Article 7(1)(k) of the Rome Statute includes "other inhumane acts of a similar character," within the enumerated acts of crimes against humanity. This Note examines whether certain acts of ecocide may be prosecuted by the ICC under this provision, proposes a definition for ecocide in a crimes against humanity context, and analyzes whether former President Jair Bolsonaro's destruction of the Amazon as alleged by 2021 AllRise Complaint can be prosecuted in the ICC as a crime against humanity.
