COURT FOR INTERGENERATIONAL CLIMATE CRIMES / FRAMER FRAMED

Framer Framed publishes a new book about the Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC), a large-scale installation in the form of a tribunal that prosecutes intergenerational climate crimes. The CICC provides a platform for public hearings where marginalized communities sue states and companies for intergenerational climate crimes. This publication brings together the work of academic Radha D'Souza and Dutch visual artist Jonas Staal.

The aim of the CICC is to prosecute climate crimes by states and companies, not only in the past and present, but also in the future. Central to this book is the first iteration of the project, commissioned and staged by Framer Framed, Amsterdam, which involved holding public hearings against the Dutch state and transnational companies registered in the Netherlands: Unilever, ING and Airbus.

The book consists of three parts. Cases takes a closer look at four major cases brought against the Dutch state, Unilever, ING Group and Airbus Industries for intergenerational climate crimes. Judges introduces the panel of judges who oversee the public hearings. Finally, Reflections offers critical essays by theorists Tobias Dias, Ashley Maum and Joram Kraaijeveld, among others.
