Official crime of aggression amendment proposal to serve as the basis of upcoming Review negotiations: The governments of Germany, Costa Rica, Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Vanuatu have jointly submitted a proposed amendment to the Rome Statute to the UN Secretary General in his capacity as depositary of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This text will serve as the basis of negotiations at the upcoming Review to be conducted by the ICC’s Assembly of States Parties.

The Global Institute for the Prevention of Aggression is delighted that the amendment text is essentially what GIPA had proposed to states in the fall of 2023.
