Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the potential for a State to be held accountable for Ecocide associated with Climate Change within the established framework of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. The issue of climate change and the appearance of ecocrime are interesting subjects of study. Climate change has a significant impact not only on environmental issues but also on crime, making it the responsibility of all parties (States and Individuals/Corporations). The International Criminal Court recognizes the State’s responsibility for climate change. However, it needs to be questioned whether the State can be held responsible for the emergence of ecocide in the context of climate change. This study adopts a normative-conceptual legal research methodology with a prescriptive orientation. The sources for this research process are International Conventions and/or Documents, Law and Regulations. The conceptual and statutory approach is used in the article to analyze the situation. The study finds that there is a need to understand the manifestation of the State's responsibility in the context of climate change and to further elaborate on the possibility of crime arising from climate change. It must be understood that shifting the paradigm of cross-jurisdictional thinking for both the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court is necessary.
