The specific crime described in the statement is "crimes of aggression." This crime was added to the Rome Statute in 2018 and involves acts committed by a person who is in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of a state, and which involve the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity, or political independence of another state. The purpose of this crime is to hold individuals accountable for acts of aggression carried out by a state, rather than treating the aggression itself as a crime.
