Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

It was not clear from the website if registration fee will be charged. In case there is a fee for participation, although I am very close it seems as many other commoners it would not possible for me to join this event; let alone the ethic problem of charging people for already funded event by EU, with public money. ..... Peer Value:Advancing the Commons Collaborative Economy is a conference integrating conversations and plans of action for shaping and connecting the Commons on a global level. The conference is organized along three tracks: Track 1: P2P: Inclusive Politics, Activism and Law for the Commons Track 2: Decentralized Tech and Beyond:Global Design,Local Production Track 3: From Platform to Open Cooperativism We will explore questions such as: What are the conditions that encourage communities to work as peers, creating commons? What are the best practices communities can adopt to safeguard their resilience? Decentralization - why is it important, and how is it implemented and maintained? How can the working methodologies honed by well-established digital communities act as transitional guidelines for sustainable ?material? manufacturing? What about social innovation and livelihoods - how does contributory and open accounting work with the systems of value creation found in CBPP? How can civil society participate in recommending policy proposals that support CBPP for governments at the local, regional, national - even global - levels? Join your peers, add your voice and take part in the growing conversation about the Commons as an important, emerging collaborative social model.

Fwd: Against Ecocide (GTN Discussion)
by Michel Bauwens 31 Jul '16

31 Jul '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Great Transition Network <gtnetwork(a)greattransition.org> Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2016 at 8:33 PM Subject: Against Ecocide (GTN Discussion) To: michelsub2004(a)gmail.com >From Yogi Hendlin <musicalyogi(a)gmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------- [Moderator's Note: Thank you for the stimulating discussion so far. The discussion will be ending on Sunday. If you'd like to comment, make sure to do so soon!] Femke Wijdekop’s unpacking of ecocide doesn’t mince words. Wijdekop importantly identifies decommodifying nature as property which can be lawfully abused without censure to be a central step in divesting from the eco-colonial mindset. The unspoken premise of the essay revolves around an optimistic view of the power of international law. One line of argument might ask critically: why include ecocide as a fifth crime against peace if the previous four crimes against peace (genocide, crimes of aggression, crimes against humanity, and war crimes) have been spottily applied at best? In fact, some have argued that bringing to justice crimes against peace only works against poor, marginalized countries, granting countries that may deserve judgment—e.g., for torture, militarism, suppression, or censure—immunity from prosecution from such crimes if their international clout is sufficient (cf. Frieze 2013). This cynical attitude would cast doubt the efficacy of including ecocide, because many of the worst offenders, either directly or through the corporations based in their countries, are the same global powers—e.g., China, Canada, the USA—upholding and underpinning the international order. As Wijdekop observes, some of the most egregious polluters, have refused to sign-on to the International Climate Convention. The climate change paradox of powerful states playing “you first” games to shirk responsibility has got to stop. The question is how? One possibility Wijdekop notes is creating the real threat of legal retribution instantiating ecocide would exert. Such a law may discourage would-be polluters from the most ecologically egregious violations, while helping us reconfigure our juridical as well as our social relationship with the natural world. Just as genocide worked as a legal heuristic to fundamentally change how violence against a group of people was categorized, it also had the effect of rehabilitating the status of that group as deserving of respect in the international lens. Ecocide could have a similar heuristic effect, reminding us of the pertinent planetary question: how much destruction of our biosphere constitutes too much? Wijdekop’s analogy of outlawing ecocide with the abolition of slavery bridges the instrumental definition of nonhuman life as mere property or resource to one of acknowledged agency, self-creation, and autonomy deserving respect and protection for its own sake rather than merely in regard for the goods nonhumans and their habitats provide us. The concept of ecocide—in this current legal parley, at least—requires further development. Ecuador (2008) and Bolivia (2009) already have enshrined “Rights of Nature” (Los Derechos de la Naturaleza) in their constitutions. Yet, after many years of the international community failing to make good on their promised $3.6 billion funds the Correa government negotiated to create the UN-administered Yasuni Initiative that would have kept the discovered oil permanently untouched, even the Derechos de la Naturaleza did not prevent the Ecuadorian government from going ahead and drilling oil in biodiverse indigenous rainforest. The efficacy of such a concept as ecocide, which in a sense is the negative framing of Derechos de la Naturaleza, remains tenuous when the exigencies of lucre call. Support of instantiating and enforcing an ecocide statute in international law will likely ebb and flow with the fate of economies; as well as the beneficence and self-reflexivity of the international community. Without simultaneously plaiting ecological considerations and practices into every aspect of our international legal system, we engage in what political theorist Nancy Fraser (1997) calls “affirmative” recognition rather than “transformational” recognition. That is, we affirm that yes, there exist obscene and unconscionable limits to environmental depredation; without transforming business as usual and our self-conception as a species to viscerally understand that when we significantly harm the natural world, we harm ourselves. Yes, we should include ecocide as a venal sin against humanity and nature. To make this feasible, however, we must also imbue these principles in the preexisting crimes against peace and throughout our common norms. Fraser, Nancy. 1997.

New Haven: Yale University Press. Sincerely, Yogi Hale Hendlin Postdoctoral Research Fellow Department of Medicine University of California, San Francisco www.yogihendlin.com *********************************************** Friday, July 1, 2016 >From Paul Raskin ----- Dear GTN: Our JULY discussion will approach GTI’s overarching theme – shaping a civilized planetary future – from a fresh angle: the legal effort now gaining traction to criminalize the wanton destruction of nature. Femke Wijdekop takes this on in a new Viewpoint, “Against Ecocide: Legal Protection for Earth.” Femke introduces the idea of the “rights of nature” and the history of the concept of “ecocide.” However, her primary focus is on action, specifically, the movement to add ecocide as a crime against peace under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Expanding the juridical architecture for protecting rights will surely be a vital prong in the systemic movement we so urgently need. But to what degree can it succeed in isolation? And what is the larger role of law and legal activism in a Great Transition? Please read Femke’s short piece at www.greattransition.org/publication/against-ecocide and weigh in with your thoughts. It will be published in August, along with selected comments drawn from the forthcoming discussion Comments are welcome through JULY 31.

The discussion will be ending on Sunday. If you'd like to comment, make sure to do so soon!] I wanted to follow up with my post from yesterday. Wijdekop in her paper “Against Ecocide: Legal Protection for Earth” observes that “…it is not enough to integrate the interests of future generations in lawmaking; the interests of nature must also be integrated to do justice to our interconnection with and dependence on the natural world.” As I argued in a recent paper ( etransition.org/Entri%20Web%20Site/images/2016.Eichbaum.New%20Ethics%20for%…) the fundamental feature of The Anthropocene Age is that humans must now assume full responsibility for managing earth’s systems, and to do this will require radical transformation of our governance, economic and scientific structures. Such a change can only happen if we evolve the ethical precepts of our civilization to include responsibility to future generations. This extends Leopold’s ethical discussion in The Land Ethic into the future. So, while not disagreeing with Wijdekop’s argument, I think that achieving her objective will require integrating both the interests of nature as well as future generations first into ethical evolution and thence into lawmaking. Bill Eichbaum ******************************************************* Wednesday, July 27, 2016 >From Bill Eichbaum <bill.EICHBAUM(a)WWFUS.ORG> [Moderator's Note: Thank you for the stimulating discussion so far.

I am not an expert regarding the Rome Statute but do wonder if the jurisprudence which has developed over the past 45 years pursuant to the several US state constitutional provisions establishing environmental rights might not be worth a close look. While not directly relevant in an international criminal context, this body of law might point to important general theories, principles, and rights which could be informative. One of the earliest of these constitutional amendments was adopted in Pennsylvania and was recently relied upon by that state's Supreme Court in a decision regarding fracking.
