ABSTRACT
I wish to start my presentation on “The Crime of Aggression — Definitional Options for the Way Forward” by simply saying: nobody should underrate the thirst of the international community for more international justice. This is also relevant with regard to the crime of aggression, in particular with regard to a definitional solution for this crime which is so grave and has, in the past, haunted so many people. Judge Jackson, the great American lawyer of the International Military Tribunal of Nuremberg, was among the first to fully understand and to appreciate this.
