Description
Summary:This article shows the historical development of the crime of aggression in international law, from its precedents to the amendments at the ICC Statute, introduced during the First Review Conference of the International Criminal Court on June 11, 2010. Furthermore, the article explores the legal status of the crime of aggression, its legal nature, the conduct itself or actus reus, the mental e lement or mens rea, the relation between the crime of aggression and the principles of legality and complementarity, the character, scope and gravity of the act of aggression as a basis of individual criminal liability, the attempt to commit the crime of aggression and the complex procedure to activate the icc's jurisdiction. Complementary, this work analyses the implications of the consensus reached in Kampala through the Resolution RC/Res. 6, witch represents a significant advance for the crime of aggression in international law but has been object of several criticism. From this scenario, the author assumes a position that allows the correct application of the norm in the Colombian legal system.
