On 14 December 2017, the Assembly of States Parties of the International Criminal Court (ICC) took the historic decision to activate the ICC’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. This decision is a major step forward for international criminal law and a success for Austrian diplomacy.
Austrian diplomat Nadia Kalb led the year-long facilitation process that aimed to bridge the Member States’ different legal readings of the crime of aggression.
The European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (UNI-ETC) and the Institute of International Law and International Relations of the University of Graz are pleased to invite you to a background briefing where Counsellor Nadia Kalb will offer insights into the process and outcome of the intense “closed door” negotiations.
