Case Against Bolsonaro For Crime Against The Environment!
A case has been filed against Brazilian President Bolsonaro in the International Criminal Court. It is accused of committing crimes against nature. An organization working for climate change in Austria has appealed to the International Criminal Court against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to officially investigate whether his policies are crimes against humanity. are or not. This organization called AllRise says that crimes against nature are crimes against humanity. Its founder, Johannes Wegemann, said, "Jair Bolsonaro is blindly destroying the Amazon when he knows the consequences." Allrise has also started a campaign on social media called ThePlanetweiss Wreck on Amazon Current statistics show that the amount of carbon emissions due to deforestation in the Amazon is more than the total emissions of Italy or Spain annually. Due to this harvesting, so much carbon dioxide is released that the Amazon cannot absorb. The complaint against Bolsonaro has been filed with the ICC as the world prepares for the COP26 climate conference to be held in Glasgow next month and everyone's attention is towards environmental problems.
Allrise founder Weijmann told Deutsche Welle that by complaining to the ICC he wanted to raise awareness in the world, even though the odds of winning in this case were slim. "We have to decide what the definition of victory is. If victory means putting Bolsonaro in jail, the chances are slim. But, that is not what The Planetweiss aims to do. If victory means making people aware, If the ICC listens to us and conducts a preliminary inquiry, it will be successful. It will have an impact on other countries as well and they will refrain from taking anti-environmental measures.
Tell me, is this frog scary? This is not the first case of this kind in the International Criminal Court. Earlier, there have been three more complaints against Bolsonaro in The Hague. But this case is different from the rest. Wejmann explains, "Our move has strong support from Brazil. But we are not speaking on behalf of the Brazilian people. Nor do we claim to be their representatives. We want to give an international dimension to their struggle." Amazon belongs to them but we all need it. Who's Amazon Bolsonaro has been saying that the Amazon belongs to Brazil and that interfering in the use of its resources is being done with the aim of harming the country's agricultural sector.
