Abstract: Undertaking a journey into the past addresses many of the unknowns that gravitate around a certain subject. At the same time, it can also be said that, from an analytical perspective, travelling through the timeline that is drawn over history by a specific question offers a holistic vision of the issue. Therefore, in order that future events take the desired course and finally achieve the crystallisation of ecocide in international law, it is essential to understand the background and those paradigmatic cases that placed in the first row the urgency to build a whole theoretical framework to sustain this crime, and the conceptual odyssey that ecocide has experienced to date.
