This
is just a quick posting to flag up the excellent coverage given to
ecocide mock trial which took place at the Supreme Court in London on
30 September.
Pride
of place has to go to the Guardian
as it includes a stupendous 6 minute video which really conveys the
import of what transpired and the critical moments of the
proceedings.
The
mock trial received surprisingly positive coverage in no less than
the Financial
Times, as
well as the Independent,
having also been previewed
by the Guardian here.
It
prompted an excellent discussion of the crime of ecocide in CNBC
Business.
The
trial received coverage in various corners internationally, including
Brazil, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and, of course, cyberspace.
Links to all of these can be found
on the
Eradicating
Ecocide website.
It
seems reasonable to conclude that if a newspaper with the gravitas of
the FT is prepared to devote the attention of a journalist for the
best part of day to such an event, the campaign to criminalise
ecocide is beginning to make an impression in the high places where
power resides. And clearly many other places besides.
