| Summary: |
This paper refers to the difficulties in achieving legal
recognition of the concept of International Environmental
Crime �ecological harms caused to the environment,
intentionally or by guilty negligence� since the first
proposals of the UN in the 40s, when international
law seemed to be aware of the need to protect the
environment, to the present. A process that has lost the
opportunity for these crimes to be prosecuted by the ICC.
For that reason, lacking international conventions, it is
important to emphasize the importance of custom and
general principles of law. |
