Crimes against the Environment in International Criminal Law
In 2023, the Council of Europe started to draft a new convention ‘to protect the environment through criminal law’. Similar initiatives have been debated in the United Nations systems and by academic experts. Research on this topic can examine the new Council of Europe Convention in detail or look more broadly at existing or emerging international frameworks to criminalise crime against the environment.
For further information please contact Professor Andreas Schloenhardt, e: a.schloenhardt@uq.edu.au.
-
Crimes against Cultural Property in International Criminal Law
In 2017, the Council of Europe adopted a new Convention on Offences relating to Cultural Property. In addition, there is patchwork of other international frameworks that, directly or indirectly, address this crime type. Research on this topic can examine the new Council of Europe Convention in detail or look more broadly at existing or emerging international frameworks to criminalise offences relating to cultural property.
