ECOCIDE IN WAR AND PEACE: FROM THE AIR POLLUTION CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE TO JAPAN'S DISPOSAL OF FUKUSHIMA WATER INTO THE OCEAN
This Article will propose and analyze potentially prosecutable cases of alleged global ecocide and propose targeted amendments to Articles 36(3) and (5) of the ICC Rome Statute. These proposed amendments may serve as a blueprint to procedurally ensure environmental expertise at the international judicial level. Ecocide is unfortunately not currently recognized under the Rome Statute. However, certain scholars have suggested defining it as a fifth international crime. This analysis identifies environmental crises, international criminal law expectations and examines the environmental pollution caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Japanese government's decision to dispose of radioactive treated water from the wrecked Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear site as examples. These templates vindicate the Article's recommendation of a need for a Special Prosecutor for Ecocide, recognizing the ICC as the proper court for ecocide prosecution.

PFOA and Cancer in a Highly Exposed Community: New Findings from the C8 Science Panel
Past laboratory research has associated perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) with liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancers in rodents.1 Human studies of PFOA have lacked statistical power, although one study did find a significant association between kidney cancer deaths and serum levels of PFOA in chemical plant workers.2 Now a major epidemiological study published in EHP reports an association between PFOA exposure and kidney and testicular cancers in individuals who lived near and worked at a plant that produced the chemical.3

WHEN UNCLE SAM SPILLS: A STATE REGULATOR'S GUIDE TO ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE CLEAN WATER ACT
The U.S. government is one of the largest polluters on the planet. With over 700 domestic military bases and countless more federal facilities and vessels operating within state borders, there exists an enormous potential for spills and discharges of pollutants into state waters. The regulatory burden for enforcing environmental laws against the federal government falls on the Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators. But enforcing laws and regulations against the federal government and its progeny is a daunting regulatory task.

Turning the Dirty Tide: The Farmer Fairness Act's Attempt to Create Integrator Liability
A new proposed amendment to the Clean Water Act, the Farmer Fairness Act (\"FFA\") seeks to attach broad liability for these environmental violations to the larger company. First, in Part II, this Note will analyze the general structure of the American meat industry, including how and why contracts are formed between large companies and farmers. It will also include a discussion of the environmental liability attached to meat production, and how the FFA seeks to solve the issue. Next, in Part III, this Note will consider whether the current state of affairs and environmental statutory structure takes care of the problem already. In addition, this Note will consider whether the courts provide any insight into the problem, followed by the advantages and disadvantages to the FFA and different potential tests that could be used to approach the issue. Finally, in Part IV, this Note will propose a new version of the FFA that will remedy the major concerns associated with different potential approaches.
