Dear ‘trustees of Planet Earth’,

Back in Thailand: I would like to share my fresh experience as a
participant of the *Monsanto Tribunal *and *People’s Assembly* in The
Hague, 15-16 October 2016. Thirty witnesses reported their severe
grievances from all over the world to professional judges from 5 continents
who volunteered in this impressive civil society tribunal. The cases will
be systematically documented and used to promote the development of
international law and strengthening national legislation addressing
‘ecocide’ and related violations of Human Rights by corporations for whom
Monsanto stands as a omni-powerful symbol. We have to ‘reclaim’ healthy and
fair agriculture by positive action and vigilant advocacy.

Our Dutch youth theatre initiative performed their sparkling play called
*‘Monzado’* at the People’s Assembly, organizations and schools around the
country (*attachment*).

Let’s work together towards *Earth Trusteeship*.

Hans

Verdict: Monsanto guilty of crimes against the planet and humanity

[image: Description:

Judge Françoise Tulkens: "*civil society has to help International Law to
develop and include ecocide*" (Monsanto Tribunal Day 3, The Hague)

- and indeed civil society is helping. Not only did the *Monsanto Tribunal*
<http://eradicatingecocide.cmail20.com/t/r-l-yhllhjkt-duyditydkr-s/> open
up the space for testimony to be heard, but it also demonstrated that
complex issues, such as significant harm arising from corporate ecocide,
can be addressed through the rule of law. Ecocide is not yet a crime, but
as Judge Tulkens declared, "civil society has to help International Law to
develop and include ecocide."

And Judge Tulkens is a judge who speaks informedly - her legal background
includes professorship specialising in the fields of general criminal law,
comparative and European criminal law, juvenile justice and human rights
protection systems before and tenureship as a European Court of Human
Rights Judge. Tulkens is also the author of many publications in the areas
of human rights and criminal law.

Was it a Kangaroo court, as Monsanto claimed? (*See Guardian story here*
<http://eradicatingecocide.cmail20.com/t/r-l-yhllhjkt-duyditydkr-g/>) or
was it the first steps towards ecological justice? You decide...
