The notion of "Ecocide" is being added to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, APA reports.

According to the information, the related draft law was discussed at today's meeting of the Committee for Law Policy and State-Building of the Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani Parliament).

It was noted that in the draft law presented by the President of Azerbaijan as a legislative initiative, it was proposed to add the concept of "Ecocide" and to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice within the framework of the law. The amendment aims to ensure the proper legal assessment of environmental crimes committed on the territory of the country and the improvement of the legislative framework for the sustainable protection of the ecosystem.
