The latest World #WildlifeCrime Report by UNODC not only analyses the trends of illegal wildlife trade, but for the first time highlights the need to "explore legal tools that can hold offenders responsible for remedying the harms they cause.”
@UNODC_ENV @UNODC
This is a major recognition that existing legal tools can - and must - be leveraged to remedy environmental harm, holding offenders to account and securing justice - and remedies - for nature.

🌵 We support strategic cases around the world so that – when nature is harmed – plaintiffs can take action to create accountability and secure remedies.
Today we can share details about an important cases, moving ahead in Italy’s Court of Ancona to protect endangered #cacti
ABC’s case claims harm to its conservation mission. If successful, the defendants would have to compensate ABC – funds that will be invested into cactus conservation.
This shifts our focus from not only on punishing environmental crimes but also seeking remedies.
The case confirms that groups like ABC have a right to join criminal proceedings related to offences that harm their missions. It highlights how conservation groups can give powerful legal voice to nature’s rights.

🥳Thrilled to announce the successful launch of the BELS (Biodiversity and Environmental Liabilities Scholars) Network, an exciting global interdisciplinary group that explores new pathways for #EnvironmentalRemedies 🌱🦜
⚖The @IntlCrimCourt has launched a new policy initiative to advance accountability for environmental crimes under the #RomeStatute.
🌱 The initiative takes into account the profound impacts that international crimes have on the environment, nature and wellbeing.
👉 the cascading impacts on ecosystems and species survival;
👉 the diverse, often intangible values humans hold for nature.
We argue that a thorough view of environmental harms necessarily means that remedies to these harms must be comprehensive.
