The article titled "Uluslararası Hukuk ve Ekokırım Suçlar Ekseninde
Ukrayna-Rusya Savaşına İlişkin Değerlendirmeler (Assessments on the
Ukraine-Russia War in the Axis of International Law and Ecocides Crimes)"
was published in Yeditepe University's Journal of Law Faculty, 2023 –
Volume: 20, Issue: 2. The author analyzes ecocide crimes in the context of
the Ukraine-Russia War within international law. The author asserts that
armed conflicts and weapons not only lead individuals, societies, and states
to disaster but also expose the planet and its ecosystem to irreparable damage
and destruction. Furthermore, the author explains that the inadequacies of
international law in protecting nature, or in other words, the planet and its
ecosystem, are evident. Therefore, the author argues that it is necessary to
define "Ecocide Crimes" and establish new and effective regulations
accordingly. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the importance of giving
the planet legal personality, recognizing the planet's right to selfdetermination,
and advocating for the creation of a "Universal Declaration
of the Rights of the Planet." These issues, according to the author, should now
be discussed by the international community in light of the Ukraine-Russia
War, underscoring the urgent need for such considerations.
