Abstract

Abstract This article examines whether mass deforestation could be prosecuted as a crime against humanity under Article 7 of the Rome Statute. It does so in respect of the situation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon in 2019–2021, where the unbridled exploitation and destruction of the rainforest had a disastrous impact at local, regional and global levels. The article covers three main aspects. First, it explores the existing limits of international criminal law for prosecuting mass deforestation as a crime against humanity, and the contours within which criminalization would be possible. Secondly, it discusses the challenges inherent in the anthropocentric nature of the chapeau requirement of Article 7 for the criminalization of mass deforestation under that provision. Thirdly, it analyses the extent to which mass deforestation could qualify as persecution and/or an ‘other inhumane act’ under Articles 7(1)(h) and (k) of the Rome Statute.

大规模砍伐森林是反人类罪?

摘要本文探讨了是否可以根据《罗马规约》第7条将大规模砍伐森林作为危害人类罪进行起诉。2019-2021年，巴西合法亚马孙雨林的情况也是如此，对雨林的肆无忌惮的开采和破坏在地方、区域和全球层面造成了灾难性的影响。本文主要包括三个方面。首先，它探讨了将大规模砍伐森林作为危害人类罪起诉的国际刑法的现有限制，以及可能将其定罪的范围。其次，它讨论了根据第7条将大规模砍伐森林定为刑事犯罪的第7条开头要求的人类中心主义性质所固有的挑战。第三，它分析了根据《罗马规约》第7(1)(h)和(k)条，大规模砍伐森林在多大程度上可以构成迫害和/或“其他不人道行为”。
