Discussion Paper for the Mandated Review of the Aggression Amendments: On 8 November 2024, the Permanent Representatives of Costa Rica, Sierra Leone, Vanuatu, Germany and Slovenia sent a discussion paper to all States Parties to the Rome Statute in preparation of the mandated review of the Aggression Amendments in 2025. The discussion paper had previously been elaborated by a cross-regional group of friends and points out two options for how Article 15 bis of the Rome Statute can be revised to bring the Court’s jurisdictional regime over the crime of aggression in line with its jurisdiction over genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
