Unfortunately we all know that those are not the intended targets of that legislation.
More to the point, and putting ecocide and genocide in a similar ballpark, doesn’t anyone remember Rwanda anymore? Or Srebrenica? (this latter labeled technically as a massacre). Does anyone believe that those atrocities could have been stopped by “harsh words” alone? Or by economic sanctions? They weren’t.
Enforcement in this case means imposition of force, which in an inter-state situation means invasion or, at the very least, a military attack (see Kosovo in ‘99, technically not an invasion).
I personally think it should be one instrument on the table as a matter of last resort, mainly for the purpose of deterrence.
This is a popular assumption, but it is not true. At least, definitely not now:
US and Europe invading multiple countries and international community being chill about it had set a strong enough precedent.
C'mon, NATO had recently updated its doctrines to allow it warfare over climate - we have all the preconditions for fun stuff.
