Meet the Speakers: Lisa Oldring

We’re pleased to welcome Lisa Oldring—independent advisor and expert in international human rights, humanitarian, and criminal law—as a speaker at the International Conference on Ecocide, Human Rights and Environmental Justice.

Lisa will join the panel “Accountability and Repair: Defining Justice for the Crime of Ecocide,” chaired by Xuchen Zhang. Together with Kate Mackintosh, she co-authored an article for the special issue of the International Journal of Human Rights on Ecocide, applying the proposed legal definition of ecocide to the Alberta oil sands operations. Their analysis demonstrates how the definition functions in practice and highlights areas that may warrant further reflection. We’re excited to hear about this practical approach to applying the definition to a real-world case.

The day programme is now full, but if you’re interested, please register for the waiting list or join us via livestream.
