This event hosts the Australian launch of Professor Steven Freeland’s new book, which considers the inclusion of a new crime in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, to be called ‘Crimes Against the Environment’.
Professor Freeland and Professor Don Henry will discuss the environmental challenges that warfare poses, the legal recourse available under the current legal framework, and the potential for prosecution and remedies under the proposed crime of ‘Crimes Against the Environment’.
The event will be held at 6 pm (for a 6.30 pm start) on 17 August 2015 at King and Wood Mallesons, Level 61, Governor Phillip Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney.
