Abstract For a while now some have advocated for making grave environmental crimes international crimes, specifically by adding them to the crimes over which the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction.

At this moment it cannot be predicted if and how ecocide would ever become part of positive international criminal law. Therefore, this article is concerned with the question as to what extent current international criminal law, as codified in the Rome statute, makes it possible to prosecute ecocide and how the Netherlands could take account of this in its law enforcement practices.
