THE NEW AGREEMENT ON THE DEFINITION OF THE CRIME OF AGGRESSIONNew Agreement • June 22nd, 2010
A significant event occurred recently in Kampala, Uganda: at a conference room on the shores of Lake Victoria, states that are parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court agreed to a definition of the crime of aggression. The U.S. and other non-state parties to the Rome Statute were not eligible to vote, but did participate in the negotiations. How significant will this development prove on the world stage in preventing the unauthorized use of aggressive armed force? Only time will tell.
