Description

I. JUS AD BELLUM PRINCIPLES: HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE IDEA OF STATE AGGRESSION If there are going to be trials for those who initiate or perpetrate an aggressive war, what constitutes an aggressive war, or an act of State aggression, needs to be defined. Indeed, if individuals are going to be prosecuted, and their liberty put in serious jeopardy, for allegedly committing this crime, it is incumbent on the international community to have a very clear understanding of what State aggression is. Philosophers, diplomats, and lawyers have debated this topic for hundreds of years and have not all agreed. This article discusses several ideas about the definition of aggression in which there might be broad consensus, even if much of the terrain of aggression remains mired in political and ideological squabbles.
