Resumen

In Part I Dr. Westra provides a theoretical framework within which to analyze her main concern and on which to rest the defense of the primary argument of this work: Simply, environmental harms are aussaltive in nature, hence they are not ' quasi crimes ' but just crimes. Part II of this book turns to practical concerns and an examination of cases where the depravation of environmental rights can be construed as an assault on the current and future wellbeing of a community. Part III covers the international level, specifically the covenants that recognize and emphasize the gravest crimes against humanity. In the end, Dr. Westra proposes the creation of an International Environmental Court that would adjudicate ecocrimes issues, combining careful analysis with imaginative solutions.
