The war machine has picked up speed in the 21st century. From Ukraine to Palestine, from Sudan to Yemen, and from Syria to Somalia millions of people are killed or wounded, and millions more are forced to flee. War crimes against peoples are also crimes against the ecosystems that they are part of: think of the effects of Agent Orange on Vietnam so many decades after the war, or the uses of white phosphorus on Palestinian land and people.
The Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC) is a collaboration between Framer Framed, lawyer, academic, writer and activist Radha D’Souza and artist and propaganda researcher Jonas Staal that began in 2021 with the aim to prosecute climate crimes in the past, present and future. Ever since, the CICC has staged public hearings on crimes against peoples and their natures from Amsterdam to Gwangju. The CICC has insisted that crimes against people and nature are inseparable and stem from the same systemic causes.
During this call to action, D’Souza and Staal will speak to war crimes as climate crimes together with Muhammad Al-Kashef of the organization Watch the Med, who was a key witness in the 2021 case at the CICC Comrades Past, Present and Future versus Airbus. The verdict in the case will be presented for the first time as part of the CICC publication.
