Discussion paper proposed by the Coordinator
A possible checklist of issues to be addressed in developing proposals for a provision on aggression in accordance with article 5, paragraph 2, of the Rome Statute and resolution F, paragraph 7, adopted by the United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court
N.B. This preliminary list of possible issues is based on an initial review of the Rome Statute with a view to determining the provisions that may in some way be related to the definition of the crime of aggression. This non-exhaustive list is intended to facilitate a thematic discussion of possible issues most of which are closely interrelated.
Possible issues relating to the Rome Statute
Definition
(i) Whether the definition should be more general in nature referring to what may be the essential characteristics of the crime of aggression. (Possible instruments of reference: Charter of the United Nations; Nürnberg Charter; Draft Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind; case law and other documents)
(ii) Whether the definition should include a more specific list of acts which could constitute the crime of aggression. (Possible instrument of reference: General Assembly resolution 3314 (XXIX))
(iii) Whether it would be possible to identify some acts listed in resolution 3314 (XXIX) and add them to the general definition of the crime of aggression.
