Ferencz underscored the special relevance of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression for small States, which are more likely to be the victims of acts of aggression. All 5 States that have ratified the Kampala amendments on the Crime of Aggression to date are members of FOSS, a fact that does not surprise Ambassador Wenaweser, who recalled that it was small States who led the charge for ratifications of the Rome Statute.</p>

<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1597" title="PM-UNLC-Liechtenstein2" src="http://crimeofaggression.info/wp-content/uploads/PM-UNLC-Liechtenstein2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Crime of Aggression amendments enter into force: </strong>On 8 May 2013, the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression entered into force for the first State, Liechtenstein.</p>
<p>As they were adopted under article 121(5) of the Statute, the Crime of Aggression amendments enter into force for each ratifying State one year after the deposit of the instrument of ratification with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Liechtenstein deposited its instrument of ratification on 8 May 2012, the 67<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.</p>
<p>Those interested in the legal fine print should make sure to distinguish <em>entry into force</em> and <em>activation</em>: The amendments have now <strong>entered into force</strong> for the first State Party. Next, the amendments need to be <strong>activated</strong> through the procedure contained in the amendments (which require 30 ratifications and a one-time activation decision by States Parties no earlier than 1 January 2017). It is thus not correct to state that the amendments will only enter into force in 2017! They have just entered into force, as can be seen on the SG’s <a href="http://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/CN/2012/CN.249.2012-Eng.pdf" target="_blank">depositary notification</a>. But the Court can only exercise its jurisdiction over the crime of aggression once this jurisdiction is activated as described above.</p>
<p>For more details, have a look at our <a href="/documents/1/handbook.pdf" target="_blank">Handbook</a>.</p>

He hoped that more States parties would  ratify the amendment to facilitate their timely activation. He traced the history of the amendments through General Assembly Resolution 3314 to article 2(4) of the Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force in international relations.<strong></strong></p>
<p>According to the Secretary-General, the United Nations supports efforts to promote ratification of the Kampala Amendments as well as their implementation, which would institutionalize the achievements of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals.</p>
<p>Here is the <a href="http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sgsm14942.doc.htm" target="_blank">full text of the message</a>, which was delivered by Zachary Muburi-Muita, Head of the UN Office to the African Union.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;" align="LEFT">INFORME JURIDICO<br />
“APROBACIÓN DE LAS ENMIENDAS AL ESTATUTO DE ROMA<br />
DE LA CORTE PENAL INTERNACIONAL RELATIVAS<br />
AL CRIMEN DE AGRESIÓN Y AL ARTÍCULO 8”</p>
<p style="text-align: right;" align="LEFT">EXPEDIENTE Nº 18.514</p>
<p>I.- RESUMEN DEL PROYECTO</p>
<p>El proyecto de ley propone la “Aprobación de las Enmiendas al Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional relativas al Crimen de Agresión y al Artículo 8”.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Estas enmiendas son producto de la primera Conferencia de Revisión del Estatuto de Roma, la cual se llevó a cabo en Kampala, Uganda, del 31 de mayo al 11 de junio de 2010. Las mismas se adoptaron por consenso y versan sobre el Artículo 8 “Crímenes de Guerra”, incorporan la definición del “Crimen de Agresión” y las condiciones conforme a las cuales la Corte ejercerá competencia sobre este último.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Tal y como lo señala la Exposición de Motivos, las enmiendas perfeccionan y completan el Estatuto de Roma, de manera que la Corte Penal Internacional podrá enjuiciar a los autores del delito de agresión en función de una sólida base jurídica creada por la voluntad común de los estados.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Finalmente, el Poder Ejecutivo expresa que las presentes enmiendas son conformes con nuestra política exterior en materia de protección de Derechos Humanos y respeto al Estado de Derecho, ejes básicos por los que Costa Rica es reconocida a nivel internacional, así como con nuestro ya tradicional liderazgo en temas que buscan el fortalecimiento de la Corte Penal Internacional.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;" align="LEFT">“APROBACIÓN DE LAS ENMIENDAS AL ESTATUTO DE ROMA<br />
DE LA CORTE PENAL INTERNACIONAL RELATIVAS AL<br />
CRIMEN DE AGRESIÓN Y AL ARTÍCULO 8”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="LEFT">Expediente N.º 18.514</p>
<p align="LEFT">ASAMBLEA LEGISLATIVA:</p>
<p>El Estatuto de Roma fue adoptado el 17 de julio de 1998, por la Conferencia de Plenipotenciarios que al efecto convocó la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU).</p>
<p align="LEFT">Costa Rica realizó el correspondiente depósito del instrumento de ratificación ante el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas el 7 de junio del 2001.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Dicho Estatuto estableció la Corte Penal Internacional, órgano jurisdiccional penal autónomo permanente y de carácter internacional, destinado a hacer efectivas las responsabilidades penales individuales de los autores de determinados y graves delitos internacionales, impidiendo la impunidad cuando los Estados no hayan cumplido con su deber de perseguir y castigar a los autores de dichos crímenes. La Corte también constituye un instrumento importante para la atención de las víctimas de estos delitos.</p>
