The Monsanto Tribunal is an international
civil society initiative to hold Monsanto accountable for human rights
violations, for crimes against humanity, and for ecocide. Eminent judges
will hear testimonies from victims, and deliver an advisory opinion
following procedures of the International Court of Justice. A parallel
People's Assembly provides the opportunity for social movements to rally
and plan for the future we want. The Tribunal and People's Assembly
will take place between 14 and 16 October 2016 in The Hague,
Netherlands.
Monsanto promotes an agroindustrial model that contributes at least one
third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; it is also
largely responsible for the depletion of soil and water resources,
species extinction and declining biodiversity, and the displacement of
millions of small farmers worldwide. This is a model that threatens
peoples’ food sovereignty by patenting seeds and privatizing life.
