The UN Security Council already has the power under Ch. VII to bring about an investigation/prosecution of the crime of aggression. The ICC has only made this an easier matter administratively. States Parties can easily reject jurisdiction if aggression becomes an issue for them. Nothing changes for non-States Parties.<br /><br />It seems it would have been better to achieve resolution on the crime of aggression but wait to deal with the jurisdictional filter until later. Now that these provisions are in place, it will take much longer to have further changes that grant the ICC real independent jurisdiction than if the jurisdictional filter issue had been postponed; there would have been ongoing pressure to deal with jurisdiction (e.g. there would be huge pressure in 2017), and now reopening jurisdiction will be very difficult (most likely impossible in 2017, and 2024 will also be unlikely as it will have been only 7 years after these provisions go into effect). <br /><br />Scheffer mentioned the potential for a "toxic" dispute between the UNSC and the ICC. That is an important point, but shouldn't be considered in a vacuum. That risk needs to be weighed in comparison with the toxicity of the crime of aggression; unlawfully waged war is a far greater problem (and an actual one) than is the hypothetical toxicity of a UNSC-ICC dilemma.<br /><br />Thank you again for all of your insightful blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651778578461687352.post-44849884457673415412010-06-12T13:03:46.130+03:002010-06-12T13:03:46.130+03:00Dear prof.
