Upcoming on 18 June! Pr Deborah Cao 'Crimes against animals & International Law'
Humans are the leading cause of distress, pain, suffering and destruction to other animals no matter which country and which culture we come from. Humans, individually and collectively, have caused enormous harms to animals. Human violence and abuse of animals are first of all, human crimes, perpetrated across national and cultural boundaries in all human societies, although some crimes are peculiar to some localities or cultures. Given the globalised world today and the widespread animal abuse of all kinds around the world in globalised animal cruelty, it is imperative that we consider animal cruelty and abuse not only in particular countries, but also globally and seek global solutions. A legal order regulating animal related matters in international and regional laws has been emerging. As law evolves including international law, it is crucial and essential that we explore and seek recognition for crimes against animality in international law and develop international animal law as part of the international law framework.
