The crime of aggression in international criminal law: legal provisions and governing principles

Abstract

A universal peace represents one of the most desired dreams of humanity. However, the course of history has proved on every occasion that - its establishment is only done by imposing it by force. What would seem to be a universally recognized value and the exclusive prerogative of each nation, peace, is shown to be a less important priority, as long as the less vocal interests of states end up manipulating the international course of development. We believe in an increasing interdependence of states in the contemporary world, where all international relations are based on the constant exchange of techniques, information, trends, practices, cultures and values, and as a result, geopolitics and economicy, thus regulate the general direction of the global arrangement.
