A Case Study of Cyanide Gold Mining: The İliç Landslide Analysis from the Perspective of Ecocide and International Law
Öz
This study evaluates the incident associated with cyanide gold mining,
and the ecological disasters that have occurred and/or may arise as a
consequence, analyzed through the lens of international law and in terms
of cross-border regulations. This evaluation will consider the inclination
of international public opinion to characterize ecocide as an international
and universal crime, particularly in recent years. This perspective
examines the potential for preventing cyanide gold mining activities
through international legal regulations concerning ecocide and ecocide
crimes. It analyzes the disaster resulting from the 2024 inicdent at the
cyanide gold mining site in İliç, Erzincan/Türkiye. This discussion explores
the potential for international liability arising from aggressive, risky, and
hazardous mining activities. Cyanide gold mining poses significant risks to
the planet and its ecosystems, underscoring the necessity for robust
environmental protection regulations. The definition and acceptance of
ecocide as a universal crime has emerged as a significant phenomenon in
this context.
