Ecocidal impunity? Wars and the profitability of the chemical corporation in the global south
This article interrogates the impact that the codification of the International Crime of Ecocide may have in addressing and curtailing the environmental harms produced by the chemical industry in Latin America and the Global South.

The role that Monsanto/Bayer plays in ecocidal p…

More than a decade after these military operations, communities whose lives were significantly affected by the operations have denounced the commission of an important number of human rights violations in the Comuna…
