Environmental victims and climate change activists

There are powerful examples of victims of historical and ongoing directharms gathering forces to fight for justice and reparations: from nativepeoples in Canada and Australia demanding redress for harms sufferedsince colonial times (Cunneen and Tauri 2016; Jung 2009) to currentmovements against gender-based violence or racialized police brutalitysuch as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter. Overcoming individual agonyand organising resistance is extremely difficult in cases such as these.Yet even more challenges appear when struggling against, allegedly,more abstract and indirect harms such as climate change.1 Ultimately, weare all affected by environmental harms, and particularly by climate change (Hall 2014; Watts 2018). Moreover, our own humane existenceis under threat (White 2019; Sanchez-Bayo and Wyckhuys 2019).However, the impact of climate change is more diffuse, immaterial andabstract than crimes, such as murder or rape, and this peculiarity is whatmight make commitment to resistance even more challenging than usual

States and International Criminal Justice: COST CA18228 Scoping Survey

As part of our Action, researchers were invited to respond to a series of prompts designed to measure the impact of international criminal justice on specific countries, and the engagement of those countries to international criminal justice institutions. The first set of results, covering 12 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe are published here. A further round of data collection is underway, and an updated version will be published by the end of the Action in April 2024. We invite researchers to make use of the data here, citing accordingly. You may donwload the full list of questions of the survey here: https://justice-360.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Cost-Survey-Instrument-V1-and-V2.pdf The data has been deposited in the University of Edinburgh DataShare repository at https://doi.org/10.7488/ds/7536. If you wish to complete the survey for a country not yet covered, we plan to release a further version by April 2024.
