"Madam President, in 1992, in Rio, Heads of State from around the world performed a true act of civilisation by recognising, for the first time, human responsibility in biodiversity loss and global warming. Twenty years on, what is the situation now? While awareness of climate change has dawned, the challenges of preserving biodiversity remain underestimated, despite Nagoya. Are we aware that we are facing the sixth wave of species extinction since the start of this world, through predation in particular? We are witnessing, dare I say, a real mass crime, and this crime is forcing us to rethink our contribution to the living world. It would therefore be a major step for civilisation to introduce a new legal concept: crimes of humanity against life in all its forms, animal and plant life. This is the necessary condition for establishing an international court of justice for the environment, which has become essential."@en1
