Description
Although aggression is listed among the four core crimes within the purview of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Court has thus far been powerless to exercise jurisdiction over the crime. The Rome Statute of the ICC prohibits the Court from doing so until provisions are adopted defining the crime and setting forth the conditions under which jurisdiction may be exercised. A review conference is scheduled for 2010, where this issue is expected to be addressed. The following article discusses the significant differences between various amendment protocols specified within Article 121 of the Rome Statute and explores how such differences may be strategically relevant to the adoption of provisions on aggression. Regardless of the amendment regime employed in making the crime of aggression actionable before the ICC, the author concludes that adoption of provisions on aggression are an important step in strengthening the rule of law and the Nuremberg principles.
