Monsanto To Face International Tribunal Over Crimes Against Humanity And The Environment
by John Vibes
Monsanto will finally see its day in court for the destruction that
they have done to the environment and human life. An international
tribunal is scheduled to take place in The Hague, Netherlands, from
October 12th to the 16th of next year.
An international group of scientists and professionals calling
themselves the Monsanto Tribunal recently announced that they will be
putting the infamous biotech company on trial.
“The Tribunal will rely on the ‘Guiding Principles on Business
and Human Rights’ adopted at the UN in 2011. It will also assess
potential criminal liability on the basis of the Rome Statue that
created the International Criminal Court in The Hague in 2002, and it
will consider whether a reform of international criminal law is
warranted to include crimes against the environment or ecocide, as a prosecutable criminal offense, so that natural persons could incur criminal liability,” The tribunal said in a statement.
