It can be an extraordinarily useful tool for preventing and punishing major environmental violations. In a certain way, civil society, mainly NGOs and universities have a key role to play in defining the future of this figure, with an enormous potential for transforming the law. %K Ecocide %K ICC %K International crimes %~ Universidad de Cádiz
