UNITED NATIONS, July 16, 2002 (LSN.ca) – The Cuban representative at the United Nations preparatory commission for the International Criminal Court this week said her country “had not ratified the Rome Statute because the crime of aggression had not yet been defined.” As LifeSite has pointed out in earlier coverage, those countries which have ratified the ICC have done so without a definition of the crime of aggression.

A UN report on the meeting notes that the group has “created a rolling text on the crime of aggression and conditions for exercising jurisdiction, which included draft elements of crimes.” See the UN report on the preparatory meeting at: https://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2002/l3010.doc.htm
