On June 26, the government of Palestine delivered the document on the adoption of the Amendments to the Rome Statute to head of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC), practically opening the way for this international body, which is based in the Dutch city of The Hague, to see into the crime of military aggression. The member states to the International Criminal Court came together in the Ugandan capital city of Kampala in 2010 to amend the founding document of the International Criminal Court, that is, the Rome Statute, which had been first approved in 1998. During the meeting, they added amendments to the statute according to which the crime of military aggression was defined as one of the four crimes included under the jurisdiction of the ICC in addition to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide. Meanwhile, conditions for the activation and enforcement of the court’s jurisdiction on those perpetrating the crime of military aggression were also determined.
