Acts perpetrated during the course of warfare have, through the
ages, led to significant environmental destruction. These have
included situations where the natural environment has intentionally
been targeted as a 'victim', or has somehow been manipulated to
serve as a 'weapon' of warfare. Until recently, such acts were
generally regarded as an unfortunate but unavoidable element of
armed conflict, despite their potentially disastrous impacts. The
existing international rules have largely been ineffective and
inappropriate, and have in practical terms done little to deter
deliberate environmental destruction, particularly when measured
against perceived military advantages. However, as the significance
of the environment has come to be more widely understood and
recognised, this is no longer acceptable, particularly given the
ongoing development of weapons capable of widespread and
significant damage. This book therefore examines the current
international legal regime relevant to the intentional destruction
of the environment during warfare, and argues that such acts
should, in appropriate circumstances, be recognised as an
international crime and should be subject to more effective rules
giving rise to international criminal responsibility. It also
suggests a framework within the Rome Statute of the International
Criminal Court as to how this might be achieved.
