SUMMARY:The Law of Ecocide: Polly Higgins in Vancouver!
DESCRIPTION:Meet \"Earth's Lawyer\", Polly Higgins. Award-winning auth
 or of Eradicating Ecocide, barrister and international environmental l
 awyer, Polly proposed to the U.N. in April 2010 that a law of Ecocide 
 be classed as a 5th international crime against Peace alongside Genoc
 ide, Crimes Against Humanity, Crimes of Aggression and War Crimes.  Ec
 ocide is defined as the mass \"damage, destruction to or loss of ecosy
 stems of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes
 , to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that
  territory has been severely diminished.\"  In a rare visit to Vancouv
 er, en route to a U.S. tour, Polly will speak (and PowerPoint) about t
 he campaign to make ecocide a crime. She seeks to meet with faith, env
 ironmental, youth, business, legal, political leaders, civil society, 
 and all who are interested to make Earth law at the June UN Rio+20 Ear
 th Summit (http://www.uncsd2012.org/rio20/index.html).  This event is 
 free, but donations are welcome and much needed. Please join us!  Vanc
