Abstract

In the early hours of 15 December 2017, the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute made the decision to activate the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction over the crime of aggression from 17 July 2018 onwards. The activation resolution was adopted after intense negotiations about one aspect of the jurisdictional regime, which had remained controversial since the adoption of the Kampala amendments on the crime of aggression. The New York breakthrough completes the work of the Rome and Kampala conferences and marks the culmination of a fascinating century-long journey. With all its imperfections, the consensus reached at the United Nations headquarters sends a timely appeal to the conscience of mankind about the fundamental importance of the prohibition of the use of force in any international legal order aimed towards the preservation of world peace.
