This article examines international and national mechanisms for combating crime against the environment. Arguments are presented to add the crime of ecocide into the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, as well as to create a special international human rights tribunal that can potentially hear cases related to ecocide. A number of bodies, programs, international networks, and transnational non-governmental non-profit organizations should be promoted to directly or indirectly aim at combating crime against the environment. At the same time, the necessity of adopting a comprehensive approach to the international cooperation among these institutions and law enforcement agencies is warranted, given contemporary challenges and threats, in particular with Interpol, a robust institutional framework to combating environmental crime. The importance of establishing universal national and interstate mechanisms for the restoring and preserving ecosystems to combat environmental crimes effectively is underscored. These international regulations should be recognized through relevant resolutions of the UN General Assembly and other international documents. A conceptual inference drawn is the imperative for comprehensive national measures to combat ecocide, including the development of cohesive state policies, the establishment of an effective environmental monitoring system, and the documentation of incurred damages.

Matteo Messina Denaro, a Mafia boss convicted of organizing a slew of reprehensible crimes, was arrested in January 2023 after spending almost 30 years on the lam and becoming one of the most wanted people in Europe. A chief of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra family, 60-year-old Messina Denaro was detained by police while receiving treatment in a private clinic in Palermo. The criminal was convicted in absentia of dozens of Mafia-related murders, including his involvement in the 1992 assassinations of anti-Mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. The Mafia chief was awarded his most recent life sentence in 2020 for his role in deadly bombings that beset Milan, Florence, and Rome in 1993, as well as for the kidnapping, torture, and murder of the 12-year-old son of an enemy who testified against Cosa Nostra.Messina Denaro's arrest came almost 30 years to the day since police detained Cosa Nostra's "boss of bosses" Salvatore "Totò" Riina, who was nabbed in a Palermo apartment after spending 23 years on the run. Riina eventually died in prison in 2017, having never repented.The Cosa Nostra boss who set the record for the longest time on the run was Bernardo Provenzano, who spent 38 years as a fugitive before being caught in a farmhouse near Sicily's Corleone in 2006. Provenzano died in jail in 2016, and similarly to Riina, never chose to collaborate with investigators. The decline of Cosa Nostra and the rise of the Calabrian Mafia With the clampdown that began against Cosa Nostra in the 1990s, the Sicilian Mafia began to lose its dominance in Italy, amid the rise of other organized crime syndicates on the mainland.

The 'Ndrangheta has supplanted Cosa Nostra in the drugs trade and has become one of the leading cocaine traffickers in the world. The Calabrian crime syndicate is estimated to rake in as much as 60 billion U.S. dollars per year – more than the GDP of countries such as Lebanon and Uruguay – and has a tight clan-like structure that is more difficult to penetrate than that of Cosa Nostra.
