Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 1, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: This seminar paper set out to assess the meaning of Aggression in the context of the UN Charter and the overlapping prohibition of the use of inter-state force in international relation. It is hoped that this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact and legal consequences of the notion of aggression. The United Nations General Assembly’s consensus definition of Aggression, annexed to General Assembly Resolution 3314 on 14. December 1974, is at the heart of our present understanding of the concept of Aggression within the United Nation Charter and manifests a “legal standard for distinguishing legitimate from illegitimate action”1 in international relations. But since its adoption, the generic definition of Aggression has received considerable critical attention because of its ambiguities, inconsistencies, openness and conflicting interpretations. From this, the question arises if the long-lasting procedure of defining Aggression was useless as the consensus definition has not only not been fully integrated into the international legal system but also fails to deter future aggressors. In addition, much uncertainty exists about the conjunction between the consensus definition and the prohibition of the use of inter-state force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 Kampala Amendments to the Rome Statute empowered the International Criminal Court to prosecute the 'supreme crime' under international law: the crime of aggression. This landmark commentary provides the first analysis of the history, theory, legal interpretation and future of the crime of aggression. As well as explaining the positions of the main actors in the negotiations, the authoritative team of leading scholars and practitioners set out exactly how countries have themselves criminalized illegal war-making in domestic law and practice. In light of the anticipated activation of the Court's jurisdiction over this crime in 2017, this work offers, over two volumes, a comprehensive legal analysis of how to understand the material and mental elements of the crime of aggression as defined at Kampala. Alongside The Travaux Préparatoires of the Crime of Aggression (Cambridge, 2011), this commentary provides the definitive resource for anyone concerned with the illegal use of force.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a logical analysis of the United Nations' search for a generally acceptable definition of aggression. The book contends that a definition of a term or a concept is a preliminary statement subject to further assessments by judging the definition true or false, and by reasoning where the definition and the judgment are examined by inductive and deductive reasonsing. Until this is done, the Security Council cannot use the definition as it stands now and make binding decisions under Article 39 of the Charter with respect to the use of force in international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a New Introductory Essay, Paradoxes of a Sharp Legal Mind: Professor Julius Stone and International Aggression by Benjamin B. Ferencz. Efforts to enforce world peace during the twentieth century through international organizations created a demand for a legal definition of aggression. A U.N. committee attempted to provide one in a 1956 report. Stone rejected it for two reasons. Citing a broad array of examples, he shows that the concept of aggression eludes definition. More important, he argues that a definition is not necessary for the goals of international peace-enforcement.

Download or read book Aggression written by Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequence of the state of lawlessness that permitted States to wage war even on flimsy reasons was not fully appreciated until World War I when primitive barbarism and modern technology came together to result in enormous bloodshed and massive atrocities. The deep impression on public opinion opened the door to vigorous condemnation of aggression and a move at the international level to outlaw it. Though aggression continues to pose one of the greatest threats in the efforts to create a peaceful and stable world public order, the definition of aggression steeped as it is in political and legal quagmire continues to prove elusive. Despite being at the centre of discussion in the development of international law for many decades, just as it eluded the League of Nations in the past, so the definition of aggression continues today to elude the United Nations. Progress is more marked by the volumes of international documents produced rather than any seeming linear progression towards a singular and generally accepted definition. Not even the overwhelming support for the international criminal court in 1998 proved sufficient to translate into a consensus amongst States on the issue of defining this crime.
Download or read book The International Criminal Court and the Crime of Aggression written by Mauro Politi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court entered into force in 2002 and the ICC will soon be fully operational. Earlier in the ICC process, an international conference was held in Trento to address a specific issue that is still unresolved in the post-Rome negotiations: the crime of aggression. Article 5 of the ICC Statute includes aggression, yet the Statute postpones the exercise of its jurisdiction over the crime of aggression until such time as further provisions have been prepared on the definition of this crime and on the related conditions for the Court's intervention. This important volume collects the papers given by the participants at the Trento Conference. The volume is divided into three parts: the historical background of the crime of aggression; the definition of the crime of aggression, in light of proposals in the Preparatory Commission; and various points of view on the relationship between the Court's competence in adjudicating cases of alleged crimes of aggression and the Security Council's competence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the future of international law as well as the future of the United Nations. It is the first study ever bringing together the laws, policies and practices of the UN for the protection of the earth, the oceans, outer space, human rights, victims of armed conflicts and of humanitarian emergencies, the poor, the vulnerable and the disadvantaged world-wide. It reviews unprecedented dangers and challenges facing humanity such as climate change and weapons of mass destruction, and argues that the international law of the future must become an international law of security and of protection. It submits that the concept of international security in the UN Charter can no longer be restricted to situations of armed conflict but must be given its natural meaning: whatever threatens the security of humanity. It calls for the Security Council to perform its role as the guardian of the security of humankind and sees a leadership role for the UN Secretary-General in analysing and presenting challenges of international security and protection to the Security Council for its attention. Written by a seasoned scholar / practitioner of international law and the United Nations, who has served in key policy, peacemaking, peacekeeping and human rights positions in the United Nations, this book offers indispensable new vistas of international law and policy, and the future role of the United Nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping behind-the-scenes account of the dramatic legal fight to hold leaders personally responsible for aggressive war On July 17, 2018, starting an unjust war became a prosecutable international crime alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Instead of collective state responsibility, our leaders are now personally subject to indictment for crimes of aggression, from invasions and preemptions to drone strikes and cyberattacks. The Crime of Aggression is Noah Weisbord’s riveting insider’s account of the high-stakes legal fight to enact this historic legislation and hold politicians accountable for the wars they start. Weisbord, a key drafter of the law for the International Criminal Court, takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most consequential legal dramas in modern international diplomacy. Drawing on in-depth interviews and his own invaluable insights, he sheds critical light on the motivations of the prosecutors, diplomats, and military strategists who championed the fledgling prohibition on unjust war—and those who tried to sink it. He untangles the complex history behind the measure, tracing how the crime of aggression was born at the Nuremberg trials only to fall dormant during the Cold War, and he draws lessons from such pivotal events as the collapse of the League of Nations, the rise of the United Nations, September 11, and the war on terror. The power to try leaders for unjust war holds untold promise for the international order, but also great risk. In this incisive and vitally important book, Weisbord explains how judges in such cases can balance the imperatives of justice and peace, and how the fair prosecution of aggression can humanize modern statecraft.
