Home The Rearguard of Subjectivity Chapter From Life to Law: Towards an Evolving Conception of Ecocide Anne Wagner & Sarah Marusek Chapter First Online: 02 August 2023 65 Accesses 1 Citations 6 Altmetric Part of the Law and Visual Jurisprudence book series (LVJ,volume 9) Abstract Our contemporary world gives agency to Law as the source of determining right and wrong. With a global history of increasingly, seemingly justifiable human destruction of the natural environment for political and economic cause, Law is empowered to step in and declare ‘no more’. At the level of courts and national governments, Law is a higher figure, compelling action on a global scale to label and adjudicate acts of ecocide. Yet, even Law must reflect on its role as accomplice or objector to the ongoing realities of manmade environment calamity and destruction.
