Summary
Definition of the crime of aggression
For the purposes of the present Statute, aggression means the planning, preparing, ordering, initiating or executing of an armed attack, carried out through the illegitimate use of force, against the territorial integrity, sovereignty or political independence of a State by one or more persons who are in a position of exercising control or directing the political or military action of a State.
Conditions for the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Court with regard to the crime of aggression
1. The Court, in exercise of its jurisdiction with regard to the crime of aggression, shall take duly into account the special responsibility of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.
2. If a situation in which a crime of aggression appears to have been committed is referred to the Prosecutor or he initiates an investigation in respect of a crime of aggression in accordance with article 13 of the Statute, and a prior determination has been made by the Security Council under Article 39 of the Charter of the United Nations, the Court shall decide on the admissibility of the case, in accordance with articles 17 and 18.
