The Netherlands — On Thursday, dozens of farming, sustainable food, and environmental justice groups announced they would bring insidious agrichemical giant and food-experimenter, Monsanto, to trial before The Hague for charges of ecocide and crimes against humanity and nature. The tribunal will commence, appropriately, on World Food Day, which falls on October 16th of next year.

Millions Against Monsanto, The Organic Consumers Association (OCA), Regeneration International (RI), and The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) are among numerous organizations bringing this legal action in the form of a Citizens Tribunal, because“Monsanto, a US-based company, has developed a number of highly toxic products, which have permanently damaged the environment and caused illness or death for thousands of people.”
