The Review Conference of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court takes place in Kampala, Uganda, from 31 May 2010 to 11 June 2010. This blog is devoted to the Conference.
I have now received an official version of the aggression amendment, adopted early Saturday morning at the Review Conference in Kampala. Here are the English and French versions.
1. Seven years after the entry into force of this Statute the Secretary-General of the United Nations shall convene a Review Conference to consider any amendments to this Statute. Such review may include, but is not limited to, the list of crimes contained in article 5. The Conference shall be open to those participating in the Assembly of States Parties and on the same conditions.
