Ecocide as a possible new crime and, eo ipso, candidate for international norm-recognition is gathering momentum in the contemporary era among observers and commentators. In legal and evolutionary terms, however, such support for the idea of accommodating and adopting ecocide as a core international crime is no guarantee of success. It is up to the Member States to the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court to decide for or against. This reality which links law and politics, together with other types of conventional facts and theorizing have influenced the debate and dispute. With the use of examples from the responses and perspectives of legal professionals and scholars, the two authors of this article capture the multidisciplinary maze that ecocide and legal doctrine form part of. By emphasizing the role of philosophy, critical aspects pertaining to human rights and other key areas of importance are accentuated. Unfortunately, the multidisciplinary maze may be a vicious circle, without much potential for progressive transformation.
