Following a recent resolution passed in the Chilean parliament urging the government to support the recently emerged legal definition of ecocide, a group of Chilean parliamentarians has now launched a corresponding legislative initiative proposing a new law.

This bill consists of an amendment to the Chilean penal code to introduce a new crime of ecocide which is directly based on the new definition.
