Ecide, as an emerging environmental phenomenon, is not only a threat to ecosystems and biodiversity, but also entails widespread violations of the human rights of present and future generations. The main question of the present study is what is the necessity of criminalizing ecocide in international criminal law for the future generation and what is the role of environmental human rights in shaping international legal frameworks? The aim of this study, relying on a qualitative research method based on a descriptive-analytical approach, is to examine and identify existing legal gaps, challenges in criminal prosecution, and limitations in international cooperation, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and multidimensional approach and explaining the legal implications. In the following, the main focus is on innovative proposals that include reforming international law, establishing an environmental compensation fund, developing global indicators, and strengthening environmental diplomacy. The present study does not have a research hypothesis. The results of the study show that the integration of human rights, environmental and criminal law can ensure the protection of future generations and create a real deterrent against ecocide.
