Today marks the anniversary of the #NurembergTrials, a pivotal moment in history when #justice confronted #aggression. We reaffirm importance of holding leaders accountable for the #CrimeOfAggression. And strive for a more peaceful world where justice prevails over impunity.

On the #InternationalJusticeDay, the Global Institute for the Prevention of Aggression published a statement calling on all States to agree on amendments that align the #ICC’s jurisdiction over the crime of #aggression with its jurisdiction over the other core crimes.

On International Justice Day 2024, a side-event at the UN headquarters discussed the importance of "Reviewing the ICC's Jurisdiction over the Crime of Aggression: Addressing Double Standards in International Law": webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k…

Congratulations to Prof. Jennifer Trahan on the publication of her scenario on cyber and the crime of aggression as part of the prestigious Cyber Law Toolkit.  The scenario demonstrates how cyber can be a component of how aggression is committed: cyberlaw.ccdcoe.org/wiki/Scenario_…

Join the ASP side event this Wednesday, 4 December 2024, on the importance of States using the 2025 review of the Kampala amendments on the crime of aggression. It is time to harmonize the ICC's jurisdiction over all of its core crimes.

Congratulations to Ukraine and Denmark on becoming the 46th and 47th ratifiers of the Kampala Amendments! Thanks for helping to establish a system of international criminal accountability aimed at enforcing the prohibition of the illegal use of force.

Congratulations to the ECCHR for rallying up over 40 NGOS that signed the joint civil society statement on harmonizing the ICC’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. This reform is overdue. No more double standards.

"A critical priority is aligning the Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression with its jurisdiction over other core crimes" - the current and former Presidents of the ASP of the ICC. justsecurity.org/106856/interna…

Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities. Today we have taken an important step towards establishing a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. This is a signal to the world that no one from Russia’s leadership is untouchable.

International law protects us all. If we want to preserve this system, we need to adapt it to today’s challenges & align the ICC’s jurisdiction for the crime of aggression with its jurisdiction for other core crimes. The full speech of Johann Wadephul: diplo.de/2721178 1/2

1/3: The #ICC's Assembly of States Parties is divided. Many States support the alignment of the Court's jurisdiction over the #crimeofaggression with its jurisdiction over other core crimes. A smaller number of States have opposed the proposed amendment of the Rome Statute.

2/3: GIPA strongly supports the harmonization amendment and calls on States Parties to take this opportunity to remove the restrictions on the #ICC's jurisdiction over the crime of aggression.

3/3: GIPA's aggression experts have not heard any convincing legal arguments against the proposed harmonization amendment. This is purely a question of politics and political will.

🗣️ “Harmonizing the ICC's jurisdiction is essential because it sends a loud and clear message that no act of aggression will go unpunished, wherever and whenever it occurs.” -Hon.Hon. Amanza Walton-Desir, M.P, MP 🇬🇾 and PGA Board Member. #CrimeOfAggression GIPA_AggressionPrevention TRIAL International SwitzerlandUN

Yesterday, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk called on States Parties of the ICC to adopt the proposed #amendments aimed at closing the accountability gap on the #crimeofaggression that obliged Ukraine to negotiate the creation of a special tribunal: youtube.com/watch?v=RcLZFO…

No reform (yet): Despite their expressed commitment to the aim of strengthening the jurisdiction of the #ICC over the #crimeofaggression, States Parties adopted a resolution today that only postpones the urgent need for reform to a special session in 2029 in New York.

Jennifer Trahan calls out states that blocked the recent #crimeofaggression negotiations: "Support only for the selective application of justice is at odds with a true commitment to the rule of law." For the full article, see opiniojuris.org/2025/07/31/cri…
