Ecocide is a modern crime that has a very bad impact on the right to life, the survival of human life and the environment of the present and the future. And this ecocide should have the opportunity to be included in the laws and regulations in Indonesia because ecocide has a lot of enormous impacts on the destruction of ecosystems and violates part of human rights. In this study, the author examines the meaning of ecocide, the position of ecocide in the Indonesian legal system and the urgency of ecocide regulation in Indonesia. This research uses normative juridical research methods with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The purpose of this study is to examine the regulation of ecocide in a positive legal perspective in Indonesia and encourage ecocide as the applicable law in Indonesia. The results of this study conclude that Indonesia does not yet have regulations governing ecocide crimes and the government should immediately make ecocide arrangements because the current legal provisions are not able to solve the existing environmental criminal law problems.
