Abstract

During the last two decades legal scholars have discussed scenarios of so-called “eco-terrorism”. In fact there was one attack on a Tokyo underground station in the nineties involving poisonous gas and causing numerous deaths. This paper deals with the question whether the scenario of “eco-terrorism” is a real danger and how we should define this kind of offences.
