Abstract
Este trabajo toma postura a favor de la adopción de una Convención Internacional que castigue
los atentados más graves contra el medioambiente global, en línea con las propuestas de la sociedad civil
y la comunidad científica. Analizamos las conductas que deberían prohibirse en esta convención: el ecocidio —que es el delito medioambiental internacional que más consenso reúne—, el expolio de recursos
naturales y los delitos ecológicos transfronterizos. Además, se estudia la cuestión de la autoridad judicial
que juzgaría esos crímenes; se examinan diversas posibilidades: la Corte Penal Internacional, la Corte
Internacional de Justicia y la creación de un nuevo Tribunal Internacional del Medioambiente
This paper takes side with the adoption of an International Convention to sanction the most serious attacks against the global environment, in line with the proposals of civil society and the scientific community. We analyze the behaviors that should be prohibited in this convention: ecocide —the international environmental crime that gathers the most consensus—, the spoliation of natural resources and trasnational ecological crimes. In addition, we also study the question of the judicial authority with competence to investigate and judge these crimes: and various possibilities are examined: International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court and the creation of a new International Court for the Environment
