Disturbing scenario for “Ökozid”: ARD film wanted to take Merkel to court like the Nazis in Nuremberg

ARD feature film premiere that has it all!

A science fiction film that was screened on Wednesday at 8:15 pm at ARD bears the provocative name “Ökozid” and is set in the year 2034. This year, it is suggested, will take place the legal prosecution of the climate crisis . Because the climatic catastrophe has left dramatic traces such as droughts and floods. Millions of people’s livelihoods have been destroyed, so fiction.

Explosive: Apparently, the two writers of “Ökozid” initially had a particularly ghoulish setting in mind. Therefore, Chancellor Angela Merkel should be brought to justice like the Nazis in Nuremberg!

“Initially, for example, Angela Merkel and Gerhard Schröder should appear in court as defendants, following the example of the Nuremberg trials,” explains Alexandra Kemmerer, consultant at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, in an interview.

Just because the authors decided to use the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a forum for their film, the idea could not be implemented. Because only the so-called state procedures are foreseen before the ICJ.

But: “In order not to nullify the idea entirely, Angela Merkel now has a prominent witness role in the film,” says Kemmerer.
